Reviews:
“He’s the hottest mix of talent, intelligence and sex appeal to hit the stage in decades.”
Broadcast Interview 

 “Between its hypnotic bass line and graceful melody, this is a near perfect example of how jazz and soul can be combined as pop...”
J.D. Considine, Pop Music Critic
Rolling Stone Magazine and VH-1

"Slim Man's sensual sound is a perfect match for today's smooth jazz format... refreshingly original and his vocals show a lot of depth and emotion... Slim Man's musicianship will floor you.” 
Strictly Jazz Magazine

"...Feelings and profound emotions pour through the impassioned lyrics on jazzified. Slim Man strikes each chord with fabulous melodies to support the meanings of the words." 
Fred Scott
Jazz Reviewer, Plan9 Music Stores, Inc. and Contemporaryjazz.com

“Slim Man’s Sade/Marvin Gaye/ ‘Sexual Healing’ ambiance fits right in the pocket... The Slim Man could make all the female listeners go wild with his smoldering, vulnerable approach.”
Gavin Magazine

“Forget Stallone. There’s a new Italian Stallion on the scene. He goes by the name of Slim Man. He’s a bass player, singer, and one of the most original songwriters to come down the pike in a long time.”
Larry Hollowell, Music Director
WJCD Radio
