"I'm impressed with the directness of Eric's music and the craft with which he has written it.  His music would appeal to a wide variety of listeners."  -Steve Reich

 

"There are too few composer-drummers, and on this evidence, Eric Starr is an extremely welcome new addition to the club. His musicianly writing and playing do him great credit." 

 -Bill Bruford, Iconic Drummer 

​

"Such Is Life is most impressive. One of my favorite releases of the year."
-Brian Morton, The Penguin Guide to Jazz (publisher)
