Clay has a passionate, unique and personal voice that awakens feelings in audiences. On the improvisational side, he has listened to the greatest of those who are speaking, and this adds to his own distinct voice: a sweet, sometimes melancholic, but always precise one. Yet he allows his group to go free whenever they feel the urge and we eventually lose his sound into the whole of it. This is why it is so sweet. Jazzreview.com
Sly, subtle wit colors his guitar style: playful and humorous but deeply complex. Jambands.com
