“If this band is playing anywhere near you, then make sure you get there!" - Bert Whyatt, Jazz Journal
“An excellent band, characterised by joie-de-vivre and material that hasn’t been done to death by other bands……find me a band in New York that plays these fine tunes better than the W.J.R.K!” - Joe H. Klee, Mississippi Rag, U.S.A.
"As a band playing in the classic jazz style, the WJRK rank with the best in the country" - John Featherstone, Jazz Times
"Carefully thought out, well-rehearsed, lovingly presented and above all, musical" - Dick Laurie, Hot News International
"Good, solid, melodic danceable jazz, played with warmth and enthusiasm. The WJRK display a fine mixture of commitment, fun and obvious enjoyment"- Ron Simpson, Jazz Rag
