"The chances of a kid hearing jazz today are pretty minimal, so this attempt to introduce them to it via a children's musical story ought to go straight onto the music curriculum. Credit also due to pianist/writer Tomalin, for his broad take on jazz, and managing to strike an effective balance between an educational and a fun element." Jazzwise magazine
"Tomalin...is an inventive soloist with a particularly strong, but not intrusively percussive left hand." Vortex magazine
