"Versatile guitarist, Donovan Mixon has an ongoing
love affair with world harmonies"

love affair with world harmonies"
– Hrayr Attarian: Jazz Critic, chicagojazz.com
“He recorded with the likes of Lee Konitz, George Garzone and Eddie Henderson, and distilled his experiences into a personal style of relaxed elegance, where notes are carefully placed in an uncluttered, transparent texture.”
- Francesco Martinelli: Jazz Critic, Musica Jazz
“It’s not ambient fare at all, but jazz with the proviso that you never know what’s coming next and it will definitely not hurt you. It’s billed as “global jazz” but it’s not world music in the current sense -- it’s Mixon’s personal take on his own jazz journeys
and how they’ve shaped him.”
- Alexandra Ivanoff: Music Journalist, Time Out Istanbul
