The Long Middle featured on Musical Memoirs
“Here is an album with arrangements that are both unexpected and unique. Sam Blakeslee’s compositions are well written and melodic. Each member of “Wistful Thinking” brings their best to the party and with Sam Blakeslee’s trombone leading the way, enjoy a bright, relaxing and beautiful celebration.”

The Long Middle Featured on Jazz Trail
“Using his competence to envelop us in his impressionistic sound cloud, Blakeslee is a name to keep in mind. The Long Middle represents another stop on the road to soaring post-bop.”
