"We LOVED you guys, as did all the audiences of children, family and colleague artists! Your adapted show for young audiences was wonderful to watch – what a party you create and infectious joy in the making of music! Thank you ever so much for contributing your special vibe to the Festival with master classes, seeing other shows, the jam, and connecting with community! It was a pleasure to work with you!" Heather T. Spicuzza, Ordway Center for the Performing Arts, St. Paul, MN 651.282.3005

" M'Oud Swing has been the highlight of the 9th TANJazz. TSF the major jazz radio station in France devoted more than 40 minutes to M'Oud swing (both music and interview) and the main TV networks here focused on this particular group, not speaking of the standing ovation of the audience. No doubt M'Oud Swing will be a hit in All Maghreb and Europe." Philippe Lorin, President of TANJAzz 2008, France

"Within the framework of highly skilled jazz fusion, M'Oud Swing adds Moroccan, Egyptian and Flamenco influences into the music. This is high energy fusion spiced with North African essences." A. Romero- World Music Connection

"a melting-pot of jazz and of classical Arabic music" Bladi.net, Morocco

"Oh God, this is great! ... not often heard here in my country, Denmark. It's lovely to listen to jazz - whatever it is - with roots in Swedish folktone, with East European Jewish beat - and now with M'Oud Swing with Moroccan roots. It makes the World bigger and better to learn of this beautiful sounding North African-American group. My next hope is once to see and hear M'Oud Swing in a concert. Here and now I'm just glad that I got the CD." Joern Gade, internet Music Fan, Denmark

"I was ecstatic with the performance of M'Oud Swing...with their flawless execution of the music!" Larry Farber, East Coast entertainment, Washington DC

"I was fascinated by the coherent mixture of Morrocan Rhythms and Jazz." Mohamed Belhaj, 2M Television, Morocco

"A unique fusion between Arabic and Jazz that soothes the ear and mind." Samra Fares, Univ. of Penn. Arab Student Society, Phila, PA
