Length of DaysLength of Days
If, among contemporary pianists, Brad Mehldau and Bill Charlap represent the gold standard, then Deanna Witkowski deservedly ranks as their sterling sister. -Christopher Loudon, JazzTimes

Wide Open Window
Witkowski is not far from jazz stardom with her keyboard techniques, her imaginative composing and arranging, and her wordless vocalizing. Remember her name.
-Harvey Siders, JazzTimes

Having to Ask
Deanna's spirit- and her spirituality- come through on this consummate debut, and that spirit is astonishing.
-Don Glasgo, Jazz Improv

Sacred Music
Deanna's sensitive, searching musical voice beckons you to join her explorations of the spirit.
-Cary Ratcliff, composer
