"Reuben has that extraordinary combination of abilities that are entirely appropriate for this prize in Kenny’s name: great composer, masterful orchestration, commanding soloist and an overall vision for a most ambitious project.”
-Evan Parker

"In this year’s selection process, Reuben stood out as a young musician who not only had great command of his instrument but also demonstrated a maturity in his composing and imaginative orchestration. To put forward a big band project in this current climate is ambitious but clearly shows that Reuben has great drive and determination and I, for one, am looking forward to hearing the results”
-Dave Stapleton, Edition Records

"Surely someone we'll be hearing a lot more of in the future."
