	Adam Makowicz - Piano Writing in the Toronto Star in 1995, Geoff Chapman summarized Adam's considerable musical appeal: "A rare artist who grips and holds attention, Makowicz handles the classics of the American songbook with an aplomb equal to the way he deals with the devastatingly complex structures of his own compositions. A gifted improviser with splendid technical prowess, the pianist can also offer warmth and affection in melodic lines, the balance of fine taste, pungent swing and a jubilant approach inevitably generating audience cheer." >>>
