Down Beat: “Herbie Hancock Guitar Competition coverage – “Max Light projected the best guitar sound of the three. He wielded a thick, cobalt tone, which he often let linger with single notes during his improvisations, especially on his glowing treatment of Duke Ellington’s “Prelude To A Kiss.” Before that, Light demonstrated rhythmic agility as his fluid lines wended through the harmonic lanes created by Bobby Watson and Reggie Thomas, and the shifting momentum of Victor Lewis’ spry modern-bop composition, “Hey, It’s Me You’re Talking To.”
„Mr. Light can be potentially defined as a start of a next chapter in jazz guitar story. “
Down Beat: “Berichterstattung über den Herbie Hancock Gitarrenwettbewerb – “Max Light hatte den besten Gitarrensound der drei. Er verfügte über einen dicken, kobaltfarbenen Ton, den er während seiner Improvisationen oft mit einzelnen Noten verweilen ließ, besonders bei seiner glühenden Behandlung von Duke Ellingtons “Prelude To A Kiss”. Davor bewies Light rhythmische Beweglichkeit, als seine fließenden Linien sich durch die von Bobby Watson und Reggie Thomas geschaffenen harmonischen Bahnen und den wechselnden Schwung von Victor Lewis’ spritziger Modern-Bop-Komposition “Hey, It’s Me You’re Talking To” schlängelten.
“Mr. Light kann als Beginn eines neuen Kapitels in der Geschichte der Jazzgitarre bezeichnet werden. “
