Reviews

01/01/1969 Steve Voce, The Gramophone

“Garrick achieves what I would have thought to be an unlikely blend which succeeds far beyond expectation. This is firstly a jazz album, though it is a formula which I would have never given a chance".

01/01/1969 Derek Jewell, The Sunday Times.

”.“Garrick has taken Duke’s sacred music on a step using jazz as a basis for a body of liturgical music which swings with the gift of tongues.” Penguin Guide to Jazz on CD
“Despite the overwhelming echo - and sometimes because of it - the immense range and beauties of Michael Garrick’s music were breathtakingly revealed; his magnificent organ-playing places him in the ranks of the virtuosi, jazz or otherwise. Such an enriching experience, compounding surprise, joy and elegaic tenderness, cannot be encountered too often.”
