” the poeticism of the melodic line…rewards the attention necessary to begin to appreciate the subtle turnings of Tabnik’s melodies … striking … well worth the attention…” – David Dupont, Cadence
“…a great musician with a unique approach that’s not a household name but still deserves world class attention… His solos are models of melodic improvisation…his conception is as vivid as it is unique…a saxophonist of unquestionable ability…” –Tim Price, Saxophone Journal
