‘It surprised me to hear him announce a Keith Jarrett number. Even more so when [Rodric] played an extract from the Koln Concert. That took guts …’ – John Fenton NZ Jazz Critic (Australia & Pacific Gigs Review dated 15th September 2015)
‘Passionate performances of songs associated with the marvelous Billie Holiday made for a great night’s entertainment at Foundry 616. Rodric White’s arrangements allowed the talented six-piece band to display their considerable skills
allowing the musicians to entertain and display their skills as soloists and as an ensemble.’ – Mark Pigott (Sydney Arts Guide 15th September 2018)
‘The music shouts its strengths for all to hear: engaging original compositions, interesting textural meshes of acoustic and electronic and fine playing from pianist White and a cast including Phil Slater and Dale Barlow. ‘ – John Shand (Sydney Morning Herald 24th November 2006
