"So if you like your Jazz Guitar music swingin’, straight ahead and hip with no posturing, then “Guitarists!” is an album that you need to check out, especially if you are a student of Jazz Guitar and its history, or if you are studying arranging. Whatever the reason, this CD is a definite buy." - Lyle Robinson, JazzGuitarLife.com "Amundson chose tunes rife with melody ... which are perfect lines for this exercise in harmonizing with like timbres. Each track is enjoyable" - Russell Carlson, JazzTimes "nicely arranged by Carl... this is a well-presented CD with a lot of care and rehearsal put into it." - Jack Wilkins, Just Jazz Guitar "Carl Amundson and the Modern Guitar Quintet's new CD is unique, imaginative and a superb tribute to some legendary guitarists. It's getting good airplay at WRHU." - Bob Collins, The Jazz Cafe - WRHU Hempstead, NY "Classy, cool, vituosic -- all these words describe an album that is a joy to hear." - Steven Rosenberg, Just Jazz Guitar "The writing is very inventive and the playing is superb." - Jimmy Bruno "I want more!" - Russell Malone "Despite the heavy-duty chops that are on display here, everything is suffused with a certain gentility and understatedness. Very highly recommended to all lovers of jazz guitar." - Rick Anderson, All Music Guide "The album works on several levels: it is accessible, engaging and enjoyable to the ear. The musicians are sharp and play well together. Any listener will appreciate the intricate guitar play, interaction of players and the tasteful treatment of songs." - Phillip Wong, Jazz Review Of all the new groups being recorded today, the Modern Guitar Quintet is the most musical. They supply selections that are original, melodic, harmonic and swings. A rare product in this day of mediocrity." - Frank Mullen - Jazz Guitarist & Teacher "The music is very listenable, the group is well rehearsed and the arrangements themselves are of high caliber. All fans of the guitar ensemble sound and fans of more traditional jazz harmonies should find this CD very much to their liking." - Vince Lewis, Just Jazz Guitar "A very tasty session filled with interesting original compositions and fine musicianship throughout." - Vic Hall - host of "The Sound of Jazz" on 89.7 WUSF "brings to life the sounds of the classic jazz guitar recordings" and it "will satisfy those who enjoy the natural sound of the jazz guitar" - Fred 'Starr' Gerantab, Jazz Review "masters of their trade " and the "virtuosity in the playing, individually and in ensemble, carries the album" - All About Jazz "just the kind of breezy, instrumental jazz guitar album that you could listen to all day and still want to hear again." - Robert Silverstein, 20th Century Guitar
