"...Being able to grow and adapt, both musically, culturally and spiritually; learning from elders and friends is what makes Louie Bellson one of the most enduring and endearing artists in the jazz pantheon. With his eye on the eternal prize, he has run the race, and has kept the faith - spiritually and musically."
--George Harris, May 2008 All About Jazz - Los Angeles (not online - click link)
