"Eddie is brilliant, talented, kind, and patient. He always seems in good humor. A true friend, competent colleague, and wise mentor, Eddie is someone I can always count on."

"Eddie is a multifaceted musician and artist enriching the scene here in KC and beyond. We're lucky to have him here! "

"I appreciate that he supports and uplifts the younger generation. "

"Taught my classically- trained teen son jazz piano for about a year. He learned a lot quickly from Eddie. Great song selection, teaching style/method, and provided well planned lessons. "

"Eddie is a very talented artist who is devoted to the music. He is one of my favorite pianists to work with. "

"Eddie has been working with our son Nick and his jazz piano lessons for over a year now, and I can say without a doubt it has been one of the best decisions we have made when it comes to Nick’s music instruction. There’s not a lesson that goes by that Nick isn’t excited by what he just learned. He typically shares something they went over in each lesson - either by playing examples on the piano as soon as we get home or bringing up a song on streaming services. I feel as though Nick has not only improved his playing and his knowledge of jazz through the instruction, but also has gained valuable insight from Eddie on how to make music a profession and what it takes to be successful."

"Eddie is a world class musician, and a great educator who practices what he preaches! "

"Eddie is one of the most forward thinking musicians in the Kansas City area. He is a innovative band-leader, a wonderful educator and is doing his part by paying it forward to the next generation of musicians. It's an honor to share the stage with him when I'm lucky enough to get that chance."

"Amazing musician and member of the community."
