Press reviews:
"The way he approaches Dr. John, Duke Ellington, and WC Handy in terms of improvisation—this kind of lightness yet powerful access—speaks volumes. New Orleans fans and friends of piano blues will find it hard to ignore him." (bluesnews, 7/2013)
"Now we have players [in Germany] who have gone beyond mere boogie to dig into New Orleans R&B styles, and Jan Luley is one of the best. [...] This Germanic world is unknown to most New Orleans music listeners; this is a fine disc to start investigating."
