The trio made a remarkable demonstrations of why Canadian Jazz is truly world class

–Scott McCook – First Secretary Public Affairs, Embassy of Canada in Mexico

Steve Koven brings to the stage, a contagious passion for jazz that has made him one of the finest performers in the biz

— Montreal International Jazz Festival – press release 2009

Koven can create a piece out of thin air in the time it takes for him to play it. He can be as experimental as John Cage, as impressionistic as Claude Debussy, or as bluesy as Fats Waller. The common denominators are superb technique and a fresh approach to the music.

–Amanda Putz – CBC radio

“The Steve Koven Trio represents the healthy future of jazz.”
