Quotes
"By the second set Milligan had developed his own cheering section; howls of approval greeted his solo bass playing on Recorda Me." Paul Wells, Montreal Gazette "This double bassist is a master of the most ambitious of solos" Klaus Linke, Kultur Furth, Germany "The important fact is that "Solo Flights" is an impressive and entertaining solo program and Milligan is a talented double bassist to listen out for." David Lewis, Cadence Magazine "for him the possibilities of his instrument are almost unlimited; the result last night at the Omnibus: an audience unable to believe their ears and enthusiastic, thunderous applause." Susanne Will, Wurzberg Press, Germany "The Claude Ranger Quintet was quite the best (most mature, most original, etc.) band of the lot. All told, this was one of the better performances of the entire festival." (7th International Montreal Jazz Fest) Mark Miller, Globe and Mail, Toronto "while the players, from his (Claude Ranger's) previous band were, in terms of progressive music, tagging behind; musicians Jonnie Bakan, Perry White, Mike Milligan and Steve Donald were out the door and long ahead of him." Mark Miller, (from his book "Boogie Pete and the Senator") "and they (the David Liebman Quartet) were grand, such instant rapport not bad for a quartet of strangers." Geoff Chapman, Toronto Star
