"...Russ Phillips, whose trombone style--now robust, now sweet, now silky, now turbulent-like a compendium of all the best elements of trombone style since jazz was born. Russ must be one of the four or five best trombonists now playing traditional jazz."
Tom Gilmore, Contributor to the Mississippi Rag

"On this recording Russ Phillips easily convinces all listeners that he is truly one of the finest trombonists in Chicago....Russ also surrounds himself with great music and musicians."
Marshall Vente review of Love Walked In for the Jazz Institute of Chicago.
