"Rudd gets more trombone out of his instrument than any colleague, past or present."
Whitney Balliet, New Yorker Magazine
"The key transitional figure of the '60's was Rudd...in his own masterful album, Everywhere, he demonstrates a revitalization of expressive techniques and dynamic sensitivity."
Gary Giddins, Village Voice
"Rudd extracts sounds from the trombone that go back to New Orleans and further ahead than anyone has yet reached."
Nat Hentoff, Cosmopolitan
