"Hess sings beautifully as Father and captures the fellow's male intransigence."

Talkin' Broadway by Bob Rendell

"David Hess gives a three dimensional quality to the hidebound Father by carefully delineating Father's cluelessness and not very successful attempts to overcome his prejudices. As lead singer in the rich ensemble piece "New Music," Hess perfectly captures Father's dilemma."

Time Off by Stuart Duncan
