Veteran sideman re: The Salem Orchestra: "This was the most satisfying section I’ve had the great pleasure to play with in a very long time. I know you... will rock that orchestra. It was a treat for me to play with such focused and comfortable musicians and friends." June, 2019

Low brass expert re: Portlandia Brass Ensemble: "Bravo, Andy, for today's excellent show! The group sounds really good - very well balanced & together! I must especially compliment you on your very fine playing of the bass voice. Your sound was very clear & warm, full without being overbearing. Your time & pitch set a wonderful foundation for the ensemble, and solo lines projected well."  May 2019
