Clipper Erickson writes:
Reviews of My Cup Runneth Over:
"...this
music is simply wonderful, while Erickson's idiomatic, colourful,
technically adroit and caring interpretations do the repertoire full
justice. This historically and
musically important release not only fills a crucial catalogue gap but
sets reference standards. No serious aficionado of the history of
American piano music can afford to miss it." Gramophone UK - January 2016 - Jed Distler
"All
of the performances are enhanced by Erickson's in-depth understanding,
and, with considerable technical ability at his disposal, the pianist is
more than up to the challenge of bringing the composer's material to
life..." Textura - December 2015
"...Performs
with great sensitivity to these themes and an obvious admiration for
the great composer. Kudos to Erickson for his initiative and to those
who chose to support this endeavour. A welcome release, just in time
for Black History Month."
