Reviews:
JazzTimes (5/02, p.147) - "...Meditative in its glowing, comforting arrangements and ultimately uplifting in execution..."
Jazzreveiw.com Lee Prosser - "Ryndak is one of the finest contemporary jazz pianists performing, and his new CD release from Southport titled STAY WITH IT will find a wide listening audience among jazz fans. Ryndak is both stylish and innovative . . . . Every musician is topnotch. Rob Ryndak knows how to make his piano sing a fine jazz tune, and he is one of the tops in his field, sensitive, stylish, innovative, sharing, and enjoyable. STAY WITH IT is a highly likeable collection of jazz music, original and entertaining listening."
JazzUSA.com John Barrett - "One word would describe this - "active". Rob Ryndak composes with short threads, all tightly connected; many instruments join in, swelling and fading in the mix.. . . and the listener smiles at the beauty of it all. . . I'm impressed with Rob's composing, and his ability to put it all together. Whatever "it" may be, Rob Ryndak has it."
www.music.com Alex Henderson Jun 18, 2004 - "Like David Sanborn , Joe Sample , and the late Grover Washington Jr., Rob Ryndak realizes that a jazzman can be accessible to pop and R&B audiences without prostituting himself and throwing integrity to the wind. . . . Stay With It paints an attractive picture of the Chicago-based pianist/keyboardist."
