Just amazing... beautiful tone and sensibility on the piano. Young pianist possessing plenty of soul!” - Chris Philips, Jazz FM   “Roy Mor has a natural melodic gift and bold rhythmic confidence on the piano. His writing has a genuine quality that flows seamlessly from his inner voice as a player - strong, evocative, harmonically complex, and rhythmically alive.” - Jane Ira Bloom   “Great young pianist. Pure class!” - Ruth Fisher, SolarRadio (UK)   “Mor is a textured performer and composer who understands how to make something swing.” - Richard Harper  Website: www.roymormusic.comSoundCloud: www.soundcloud.com/roymor YouTube Channel
