"Ryan Blotnick’s guitar playing shows the influence of Jim Hall and Pat Metheny, two guitarists he claims as influences. But Blotnick is edgier than either of those players is assumed to be, and his willingness to take risks shows how much he has learned from his predecessors, both of whom are more experimental than they’re given credit for... As a composer, Blotnick has absorbed lessons from everyone from Jimmy Giuffre to Ornette Coleman, and his music is cerebral without being cold. " -Joseph Taylor, Good Sound
