What critics are saying about LEIF ARNTZEN...

Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter: "Trumpeter Leif Arntzen, taking a brief vocal turn, provides the evening's most affecting moment - a gentle, Chet Baker-like rendition of 'Days of Wine and Roses.'"

Vin Scelsa, On-Air Host of "Idiot's Delight", WNEW New York: "Wonderful, moody, atmospheric, haunting, lyrical..."

Dan McGuire, Macintosh New York Music Festival: "Beautiful..."

David Finkle, The Village Voice: "And jazz fans, Chet lives. They're all worth watching, but Arntzen's the one to watch."

Chip Deffaa, The New York Post: "Gentle, curiously affecting..."

Dawn Eden, writer for Salon Magazine: "Leif's songs take you to a place of dreams, and his voice makes you want to stay there."

Ken Marks, New York Press: "The wierd, compelling, twisted heart of the evening came in the short middle set...Leif Arntzen played a gorgeous muted trumpet and offered a sweet vocal on 'Be Nice To Me.'"
