“Marc Stamco transports us to another place. Blending shades of Ron Carter (bass), Wes Montgomery (guitar), and Michael Carabello (percussion) with a refreshing splash of Bobby McFerrin (whistling) thrown in for good measure, Stamco paints a truly awe-inspiring musical vista. Alluring. Uplifting. Altogether enchanting.”
