"Jazz Icons is doing for jazz what the Criterion Collection  has done for classic and important films". --Jazz TimesClose-ups of Montgomery's hands traversing the fretboard should be required viewing for any aspiring jazz guitarist. --THE BOSTON PHOENIX, 11/26/2007, By: JEFF TAMARKINIndianapolis' gift to the jazz guitar is captured here, in this Jazz Icons DVD series featuring major figures caught in performance decades ago on European television. Thanks to the diligence of Dutch, Belgian and English directors and cameramen who took generous close-ups of his hands, Montgomery's trailblazing style can be either studied or simply marveled at. He's at work here with different rhythm sections in each country, which allows fascinating views of his ensemble collegiality. --IndyStar.com, Jay Harvey, December 19, 2008Jazz Icons represents the new millennium's most welcome shot in the arm for the music's soul --Newsday.com, October 14, 2007, Gene Seymour
