on snares."
~Jazz Police Minneapolis, Minnesota

"Barber's recent disc, the compelling
Live, A Fortnight in France (Blue Note),
reminds me to pay extra attention to the agile fills and deft accompaniment of her
drummer, Eric Montzka."
~The Stranger, Seattle, Washington

"The fabulous Montzka brothers kicked up the energy a few degrees more, with
drummer Eric Montzka firing off explosive combinations..."
~Chicago Tribune

percussion."

"Barber's quartet, composed of guitarist Neal Alger, bassist Michael Arnapol and
drummer Eric Montzka, readily proves itself the equal of any other current jazz
outfit you'd care to mention."

"Montzka erupted with a sonic earthquake of rimshots, cowbell, rattling snare
and spewing hi-hats."
~Jazz Police, Minneapolis, Minnesota
