Craig Buhler's extremely talented recording history has proven to me he definately knows his way around a sax. His music is impecable, and his selection of musicians just as precise. Sit back, relax and enjoy a variety of jazz that will sure to please!

Most of these tunes are worthy of being classified as standards, yet they are completely new and different. This album gets me going, and when I share it with others, they too love it.

For the Jazz fan in all of us, this CD will appeal to the young who are just discovering great music and also to the seasoned listener. Very tasty stuff.

A delightful musical treasure! Relaxing, buoyant, bright and charming original ideas, elegantly played. A wonderful addition to any music enthusiast's collection.

As a musician and jazz enthusiast, I find Craig Buhler's "Capistrano Sessions" like an oasis in the desert-- cool, refreshing, vibrant. At times, Craig is reminiscent of Pete Fointain, at times John Coltrain, at times, Paul Desmond, yet always it's Craig's own unique style. He is backed by a tremendous trumpet player and a great rhythm section, all of which which makes "Capistrano Sessions" an asset to any jazz collection!

Wow! Great compositions, great arrangemenets of those compositions - it's hard to tell where one leaves off and the other begins; great blowing - unique blowing in that these players are digging deep within themselves in the midst of these tightly structured arrangements; a unique (there's that word again)sound, an aural timbre unlike other jazz albums; and an over-all joy of "Being-here-Playing-this" that is absolutely infectious. And of course the real test: it gets better with each listening. A great accomplishment.
