Reviews for The Bounding Line
"A Steinway Artist and pianist of consummate taste and style, Reitan's attack is fast, fluid, and lithe. Torrential runs span the keyboard as his partners power the performance with ample muscularity and invention. The even livelier title track moves at a sprint that finds the pianist soaring across his colleagues' furious groove with authority...The Bounding Line is an inspired and inspiring set, the latter exemplified, among other ways, in the discernment of the cover choices. Rather than pick familiar pieces associated with Brubeck, Jarrett, and Copland, Reitan dug deeper and picked more imaginative compositions to augment his own. On this consistently strong outing, the performances are admirably poised, regardless of whether the trio's delivering an interpretation or giving voice to one of the pianist's own creations."
- Ron Schepper – Textura
" (****) Album of the week - Quiet and reflective this isn't an album to get the party started mercifully given all the noise out there that provides that role in quantity. So, dear reader, The Bounding Line - because you're worth it."
- Stephen Graham – Marlbank (UK)
"The trio's work is intense, beautiful, and moving, with even a little fun bounce at times for added flair. Reitan's solo work is at times mesmerizing on these instrumental ballads and waltzes...The Bounding Line offers listeners a consistently gorgeous, soothing sound."
- Tom Henry – The Toledo Blade
