"Evolution is a sterling outing for the bassist...rich melodic tone from his bass and is offset beautifully by the elegant piano of Mike Wofford"
Jazz Alley/SD Union Tribune 4/03

"Thorsen's propulsive walking bass line in Strayhorn's "Intimacy of the blues" complements his lovely bowed reading of the classic "Besame Mucho". But these are just a few examples of the nature and quality of the music on this successful album" Cadence 2/03

"This is a great session that will capture and maintain your interest" O's Place Jazz Newsletter 7/03
