“Proulx is front and center, overflowing with fresh zeal and sparkling energy.”
– Christopher Loudon (JazzTimes)

“Strong musicianship, great intonation, mellow swing and a soothing, almost vibrato- less Chet Baker like tone quality. Bravo, John!”
– John Clayton (3-time grammy nominated bassist, composer, and conductor)

It’s takes a lot of imagination as well as natural talent to make jazz standards sound fresh and vital. John sings and plays so beautifully and is an outstanding songwriter as well. He’s simply a joy to hear”
– Michael Feinstein
