Critical Acclaim
Very satisfying. Effective characterization. – Catholic Standard
A hidden talent. Wesley (Daryl Davis), a half-starved bum who stumbles in looking for a meal and some work, later calmly sits down at the piano and reveals superb talent as a musician.
– Montgomery Sentinel
The production with Marcia Gay Harden, Daryl Davis and the rest of the cast delivers.
– The Washington Post
Daryl Davis is expertly refreshing. – Montgomery Journal
The characters are generally as amusing ast they are quaint. Even more rewarding is the virtuoso Jazz piano playing
of Daryl Davis. – The Baltimore Sun
It is funny, after all, the dancer and the piano player are good enough to entertain the real audience, not just the one in the saloon (on stage); as played and danced by Daryl Davis and Jesse Foreman. They both are very good indeed. – WETA PBS TV
His talent makes the production great entertainment. – The Gazette
The best Boogie Woogie piano playing I’ve ever heard! – Arch Campbell – NBC TV
One of the deepest benches of acting talent in TV history (said of actors on The Wire).
– Entertainment Weekly
The Wire is my favorite television show. – President Barack Obama
