"Ed is a great, soulful, swinging underrated player deserving of wider recognition." - Bill Milkowski 1/13/11" "An expressive instrumentalist, Cherry has a hip, melodic approach that is a refreshing contrast to guitarists who frequently resort to playing 'finger music', the execution of rapid streams of notes that serve no musical purpose other than to fill space"- Jim Ferguson: Jazztimes - 06/02 "Particularly dazzling - Cherry's guitar had the young bar crowd dancing" - Kay Cordtz : blues review-5/10 "But this album’s ace in the hole is guitarist Ed Cherry. “Blues drenched” is not a cliché when applied to Cherry. Every time he solos, a rapt calm descends and a timeless story begins, familiar yet still a revelation when told with blues truth." - from 10/9/12 JazzTimes review of virginia mayhew recording: "mary lou williams-the next 100years" "Dear Ed Recently I have heard you featured on WBGO and really took note...
