Reviews

"This is a long-overdue debut recording by a mature and distinctive pianist and composer. Great tunes, a band that really sounds like a band - and wonderful, creative and committed performances all around." - Fred Hersch

"He has a wide palette of styles in his technique and he uses them intelligently to forge a deep harmonic character that's pleasing and never fussy...an impressive debut of a jazz pianist and composer who is clearly going down the right path." - All About Jazz

"...David Cook travels down more than one interesting Pathway on this winning session. The overall feel is crisp, clean and refreshing with a solid grounding in the classic jazz piano idiom."" - Elliot Simon, All About Jazz-New York

"His playing, dramatic but never showy, illustrates just how much the pianist cares about his art...Pathway is a celebration, a showcase of loyalty to the art of jazz." - Jordan Richardson, Canadian Audiophile

"Recorded old school style, in two afternoons, Cook knows the sounds and moves you like to hear and serves them up hot, not rewarmed. A fine new set from a pro that knows the difference between music and musical product." - Chris Spector, Midwest Record

"A sterling debut...Pathway is an engrossing and heartfelt modern jazz record." (4 stars/5) - Icon Magazine

"Pathway is the work of a dedicated artist who has found his authentic and clear voice as a pianist and composer; it is also a celebration of this trio listening, interacting, and making compelling music together." - Bruce Barth
