"Larry Luger is a skillful and expressive hard bop/post-bop guitarist with an appealingly melodic outlook; Luger swings, but he does so in a lyrical way on his promising Cexton release 'The Larry Luger Trio' (which was produced by Cexton founder/president John Anello, Jr.) It isn't hard to figure out what Anello, who is a talented guitarist himself, sees in Luger; as both an improviser and a composer, Luger shines on this memorable guitar/organ/drums outing."
