Neither an avant-gardist nor exactly a mainstreamer, Mover is one of the
most accomplished and thoroughly engaging saxophonists around.
Eric Levin -
People Magazine
One of the most accomplished alto saxophonists to arrive in the 70´s (ahead
of the current curve of revivalists). Mover is still going strong: he is a fleet
and soulful improvizer with a Bird-through-Konitz pedigree...
Gary Giddins
in Village Voice Choices, (Feb. 2000)
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.
Leonard
Feather and Ira Gitler –
The Biographical Encyclopedia of Jazz
His music rings with a profundity that speaks to both heart and
mind...Mover´s voice is his own, worth listening to...carefully.

\`Saxophonist Bob Mover is one of that rare breed, a man unafraid of taking musical chances.`

Francois LaCharme - Jazz Hot Magazine
Mover, in an extremely stylized way, has personalized the bebop tradition
into something uniquely his own.
Mark Miller - Toronto Globe & Mail
This is the kind of high-spirited performance that represents the ultimate
Jazz expression.
John S. Wilson - New York Times
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!

Toronto´s famous jazz club.
A very sensitive artist and a true jazz icon
Bob Comden LA Jazz Press
Like Charlie Parker, Bob Mover knows how to make musical escapes and come out all sexy and beautifull.
