"The songs written by Bernstein resonate amongst those of us who are trapped in the concrete jungle. The memories of lost loves, unattained loves and desired loves flood all who listen with images of their own experience."
- Vos Valley News
"...original songs are the real finds here. In Bernstein songs like "Room For The New" and " Long way Down" one can hear the influence of albums like Nilsson Sings Newman and Sail Away.
- New York Press
"Bernstein provides fine original songs including "Room For The New" and "Long Way Down" - The Advocate
"The ensemble led by eccentric genius AB, are entertaining as well as enlightening." - The Courier News
"Led by bassist AB whose influences lie more in classic jazz arrangers like Sun Ra and Charles Mingus uses those influences to beef up an addicting style of pop." - Internet Music Service
"Easily sandwiched between Dylan's 'Like a Rolling Stone' and the Beatles 'Hey Jude'.." - The Courier News
"..regardless of format, AB is a brilliant tunesmith whose colorful vibes blind the shady music industry." - Home News

Adam Bernstein is a pop genius
author: Bob Cohen
Buy this disk! It's absolutely terrific. Adam Bernstein has the pop sensibilities of someone who has listened to the best pop music of the last 40 years and digested it. He's created a record that is catchy and finely crafted, without being flawless and sterile. His lyrics are alternately cosmic, funny, and charmingly down-to-earth. This is a disk has taken up residence in my CD player and refuses to leave.

This is my favorite disk of the summer, hands down! The man is absolutely brilliant. No amount of words can do his music justice. Just buy "Yo Mama Yo" sit back and enjoy the journey. You won't be sorry!

"Oh yeah - THAT one!"
author: Stephen Dorse
.. truth be told, I listened to it about 3 times a day for that first month... in any case, when I threw it in for the drive home last night it was like listening to a record that I've had in my collection for 10 years. sort of an, "oh, yeah...THAT one!" kind of experience. the melodies & words rolled off my tongue as if I'd had it the whole time. catchy stuff. long story short: great record. composition & arrangement above & beyond the call of duty. each tune has it's own separate vibe. strong work.

Blown away!
author: JA
I was completely blown away... The CD is fantastic. I enjoyed every track. The music is sweet, deep, and spiritual. I played it again today in the operating room during cataract and cornea transplant surgery!
