“Violin prodigy Noel Webb brings a unique voice to the smooth jazz set with his electric five-string. Whether soaring and crying in elegant lines or digging into intricate, impossibly fast changes, Webb captures emotional subtlety and spins melodic hooks with ease…melodic hooks like the lightly driven, warm “Love in the Afternoon”, the rhapsodic “Take Me Away” and an interesting cover of Seals & Crofts’ pop chestnut “Summer Breeze”. Webb’s absorbing lead voice is source of inspiration on “Satin Sheets” - JazzTimes
" Noel Webb brings a fresh dynamic to the world of Smooth Jazz in the 21st century with his electric violin…He transcends the Smooth Jazz world with a new dimension to a melody instrument that, not only freshens up the rather monolithic and predictable sound we have become accustomed to, but immediately raises the attention level of the listener to try and fathom this eclectic instrument which is more at home as part of the string section in a symphony orchestra… Noel Webb is carving a niche in a jazz sub genre which artists like Miles Davis, Jimi Hendrix, Smokey Robinson and Shania Twain did for jazz, rock, soul and country music respectively in the past… with a harder, urban edge than many Smooth Jazz records which become repetitive and hard to differentiate from artist to artist. Noel's music is instantly identifiable and quite unique and like the pioneer violinist Urbaniak, will be a breath of fresh air to, not only the Smooth Jazz record buying public, but by its very inference it may appeal to the cross over classical and hip hop markets as well.” - JazzNet247
"Every few years, a violinist comes along with a sound that nets him some significant smooth jazz and/or urban airplay. Now, add to that list Noel Webb". - Jazz Nation Magazine
"Rock Violinist Noel Webb gave an excellent performance filled with intensity, soul, and sexiness as his ensemble played an exciting array of songs culled from Webb's discography. Webb's exemplary violin playing was a sight and sound to behold and there is no wonder why he is in such demand as a performing artist with exceptional musicality." - Indie Music
"His music celebrates" - Los Angeles Times
