"Interesting, Fascinating Music" Jimmy Heath

"There's such a talent in there, keep your eyes out for this one" Armand DiMelle, WBAI Radio NYC

"Eric Alabaster has done his homework.  Playing his music has opened a side of my playing that I did not know existed.  He has captured an authenticity of eastern music that you can't reach from a text book.  Listening to the rhythms, melodies, chord structures, and arrangements you can tell that he has been there before.  I am honored and humbled everytime I play Eric's music."  Duane Eubanks

"A creative composer who combines the world music influence to jazz and has come out with one of the most innovating records I have heard in sometime." Steve Caputo-Inside Conncetion Magazine
