“Steve Melling is a fantastic pianist...

...always a valuable asset to any rhythm section,
his playing in this band seems to take on new dimensions.


There are times when the styles of Kenny Baron, McCoy Tyner, and Victor Feldman come to mind. Incredible and very exciting. Totally dedicated to his music, Steve can always be relied upon to support the front line brilliantly, as well as playing some fantastic solos. There is great passion in his playing, which..(stirs up)..the entire group.”
