REVIEWS:

Textura.org:
 "With only two or three instruments in play, the listener's able to fully appreciate the refinement of Crafton's playingand the lustrous sound he's developed on the horn."

"Each of Crafton's guests—fellow trumpeter Peyden Shelton, pianist Richard Masters, marimbist Annie Stevens, and double bassist Paul Langosch—brings distinguished credentials to the project, and the level of musicianship is consistently high."

 "The authority with which he introduces the second movement speaks to his prowess on the horn..."

 "Ably complemented by Masters on piano, Crafton and Shelton bring Roskott's nine-minute Concerto For Two Trumpets to vivid and vibrant life."

 "Both trumpeters impress, whether they're harmonically uniting or delivering separate declamations."

 "Liner notes... are not required... for the exceptional calibre of the performances, Crafton's in particular, to register."
