"Canter is creating a new vocabulary for jazz, the new jazz standards for his generation" - Hollywood Weekly “The strong point of guitarist Canter's music is that you can come to it from any perspective; you don't need a degree in jazz studies or a deep understanding of John Coltrane to understand it. New listeners who've spent their lives listening to Tween Wave can relate no less than those of us who've explored every millimeter of the jazz continuum” - The Wall Street Journal
