LEFT COAST BLUES
"A fantastic debut from a fluid guitarist who clearly loves to swing, and achieves it on every track of Left Coast Blues.
The common denominator is a sublime swing feel and Eastlee's buoyant guitar tone. It is evident from the first note
of Leapin' and Lopin' that Eastlee and company love to swing. Eastlee weaves through each bop flavored progression
with a clear P-90 tone." - Sean McGowan Jazz Improv Magazine

FORWARD MOTION
"Guitarist David Eastlee, rather than merely copying the past or bringing back the old repertoire, on Forward Motion introduces seven new songs that bring bebop into the 21st century. REVERSE THE CHARGES has such a catchy melody that it should become a standard. While Forward Motion on a whole looks back lovingly on Jazz's bebop past, it also moves forward to a swinging future. Like every top musician, David Eastlee uses the best of the past to create new and enjoyable music." -Scott Yanow
LIVE AT MR. B'S
"A very entertaining evening of first rate jazz.
This is a very strong group.
If this were New York there would be lines around the block."

Diane Hubka West Coast Strings
" Diane has assembled a west coast jazz guitar summit with each of the all-star groupings providing the perfect setting
for her soaring vocals... sweet tones, cooly articulate and intimate. Hubka's guest list includes top-tier guitarists Anthony Wilson,
Mimi Fox, Peter Sprague, David Eastlee, Barry Zweig, John Pisano, Larry Koonse and Ron Eschete. Her low-key presence
allows her guest's virtuosity to take center stage, throughout this understatedly lovely, standards-centric set." -Just Jazz Guitar
