“Allow me to make so many personal comments that as a player of a five-string viola, I feel especially happy that this album was created! I would like to recommend Debbie Spring’s album “Tocamos” to everyone who likes special arrangements and the Latin sound world, you will definitely not be disappointed! Let’s hope we don’t have to wait decades for the next album…”

“Spring is an inventive, highly expressive musician whose obvious zest for the music she writes and plays here flows with joy, lyricism and, where applied, fire. Her solos, technically flawless and involving, soar. As a composer, she has a deft pen with a penchant for melodic lines which are vividly exciting to the senses.”

“Tocamos means “we play“, and Debbie’s release, most assuredly, is the kind of playing we all love to hear… full of heartfelt diversity and cross-cultural energy… It’s not often that we see/hear a 5-string viola player doing jazz, but Debbie is definitely at the top of her game, folks… some of the warmest and most mellow jazz you’ll ever hear…”
