"...a breath of fresh air." ~Kenny Garrett
"…filled with beautiful melodies that are catchy but not insulting to the listener. I’m a consumer as well as an artist—always on the hunt for music that inspires me or sets a mood. ROMANCE by Knick Smith Is that Album!" ~Will Downing
"…ROMANCE is a GREAT CD!... ~Dennis Chambers
"...Showcasing his fanciful, grooving originals and jazzing up Prince, and Barry White classics, Smith offers up the perfect fusion of lush sensuality, wildly grooving jams, innovative keyboard musings and sparkling improvisations..." ~SmoothJazz.com Global
