Taking Charlie Parker, Lee Konitz, and Sonny Rollins as exemplars early on, Mover is the sum of his parts with a mind and a heart of his own.

People are always amazed when they hear him play!

A first-class alto player.
Phil Woods interview - Saxophone Journal
His music rings with a profundity that speaks to both heart and mind...Mover´s voice is his own, worth listening to...carefully.
Chuck Berg - Downbeat Magazine
The day that Dexter Gordon died, Bob Mover was doing a live jazz recording when a blackout occurred. Bob was supposed to finish playing at 7:30 pm but he continued all night with no power or lights and dedicated the night to Dexter. We were packed with people, sweating from the heat, but no one left until 1:00 am. The music was brilliant!

A very sensitive artist and a true jazz icon
