Some recent CD quotes
"... Above the Clouds confirms that Figarova is among the most important composers to come into jazz in the new millennium..." by Thomas Conrad, Jazztimes November 2008.

"... A first rate jazz pianist, Amina Figarova - with September Suite, Come Ascape With Me and now the excellent Above the Clouds - is staking out her ground as a top level composer/arranger..." Dan McClenaghan, All About Jazz.com

"... Excellent solo work, fine production values, and interesting variety would be three ways to describe this outstanding collection of original jazz songs by pianist Amina Figarova. When you listen to her piano work soar through such songs as "Sharp Corners" and "Bedtime Story," you realize you are listening to a new, unique voice in jazz piano. Jazz pianist Amina Figarova is the tops!..." Lee Prosser, jazzreview.com
 
"…Those who love September but can't handle its weight will welcome Clouds's sunnier disposition. That doesn't mean newcomers to Figarova should stay
away from September, but Above the Clouds is a superb introduction to a composer who can do it all and do it magnificently, whether the subject is
happy or heavy..."  J Hunter, All about Jazz
