"Melodic... highly intelligent approach to jazz."

Little’s originals are thoughtful, gliding affairs that carefully
highlight solos rich in rhythm and melody, while his arrangements of the
standards "Tangerine" and "Charade" are nuanced pieces
whose wafting notes exhale vast expanses of colored air. Through it all,
Little retains his own voice and assuredly announces himself as one of the
area’s bright new jazz performers."

"Not only does Little write snazzy heads, but his solos often
match his composed tunes for melodic density. Little is equally comfortable
swooping upward in an improvisatory quest or whispering with a seductive bass
clarinet on "Charade."

"A celebrated composer."
|
| -St. Paul Pioneer Press |
| |
|
"Smart post-bop writing, impeccable bandleading and taut, tasty soloing.
Whether blue-grooving over a supple fleet beat or whipping out his bass clarinet
for a romantic reverie, Little is in complete command and in great company."
