Oliver Lake : Lake is not only able to thrive in all of these environments, but does so without distorting or diluting his own remarkable artistic identity.

Oliver Lake@allmusic : Oliver Lake is an explosively unpredictable soloist, somewhat akin to Eric Dolphy in the ultra-nimble manner in which he traverses the full range of his main horn, the alto.

@last.fm : Oliver Lake is an American alto saxophone player and composer. He was a founding member of BAG (Black Artists’ Group) of St Louis, a founding member of the World Saxophone Quartet, and director of the multi-arts non-profit organization Passin’ Thru.Lake received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1993.
