"...Through the processes of composing, performing, and hearing this music the bar is raised to a new level of what constitutes 'creative' music."
â Jim McNeely, jazz pianist/composer

"...Powell's music sits at the intersection of the experimental jazz tradition and the classical avant-garde..."
â Mark Stryker, music critic
Detroit Free Press

"Morgan Powell and I grew up in the same musically unpromising small west Texas town. I was struck by his inventiveness, his passion for music, and his discipline..... He had such qualities nearly fifty years ago, and he has them still."
â Larry McMurtry, novelist

"Morgan's music has soul, spirit, song, effect, guts. I listen to these tunes and I get about every emotional feeling you can get."
â Don Owens, Professor of Music, Northwestern University
