Amazon Reviews
Like an upscale lounge in your own house" - M.O. Dec. 14, 2013
"I have found Wendell's piano solos wonderful and I have given his CDs as gifts to people who have small luncheon or cocktail groups at their home or office."- M.O. Dec. 14, 2013
"Wendell Mills is a great piano interpreter of Irving Berlin. I also enjoyed his renditions of Gershwin, Porter, Kern, and Rodgers." - Anon 2014
"Wonderful music" - J.T. 2016
"I have several instrumental COLE PORTER tributes on CD, and this one is among the very best. I may be wrong, but I think that WENDELL the second really digs the music of the composer. He plays them in a sort of special melancholic way that gets to you. Easy listening music at the finest you can have." - A.R. Dec. 27, 2018
