“David Bailis is one of the few gents around with a thoroughly unique tone and style.” Jazz Weekly

“Even with such a myriad of innovative guitar techniques played by Bailis, it’s really the guitarist’s interplay with his band that gives the album its true calling card. Often doubling guitar lines with Caroline Davis on alto, the entire band performs in a first rate fashion throughout…Jazz-fusion listeners and guitar fans of all persuasions are strongly recommended to give a good listen to guitarist David Bailis and his album Running Through My Mind.” Roots Music Report

“David Bailis delivers a record that is both modern in its electric textures and timeless in its emphasis on ensemble interplay…The band’s energy translates beautifully, showcasing Running Through My Mind as a testament to collective creativity. For listeners who appreciate contemporary jazz with an electric edge, David Bailis’s latest album is an essential listen. Running Through My Mind doesn’t just run through your ears; it stays lodged there, resonating long after the final notes fade.” Jazz Journal Uk

“For his own projects, he creates a very original style of modern jazz that is thoughtful, cinematic, unpredictable, and quietly inventive while also expressing plenty of fire.” Bob Osbourne

“As spectacular as the individual solos are (and believe me, they are sublime), the album’s true strength lies in the group’s unified sound. In fact, the entire album’s decision-making, from the chosen material, to the placement of solos within those songs, to the order of songs in the playlist, is masterful. The result is an album as perfect as a circle, with no rough edges, and no discernible beginning or end. Thank you, David Bailis, for the experience of an album that can be placed on repeat and, no doubt, transport the listener to infinite emotional destinations. Bravo.” Parcbench

“Bailis is in a whole new state of the race on his five song EP Tree of Life. His guitarisma is stellar as ever, just more thoughtful, fluid soulful, jazzy and improvisational as he ensembles with the adventurous new quartet of Chris Speed (tenor sax), Eric Lane (piano, synth bass) and Jason Nazary (drums)” JW Vibe

“Bailis' guitar sounds as if it glows, with a benign—if not salubrious—radioactivity, bringing '60s surf and garage rock to mind in its more exuberant moments. His solo on the disc's opener, "Rays Of Light" is sharp and concise, drawing energy from the cosmos, tuned into solar flares or the rings of Saturn. Chris Speed's saxophone blows in from the spirit world, giving and taking with the guitarist's lines in a beautiful synchronicity “ All About Jazz

“Tree of Life” almost sounds and feels like a musical force that not only connects all lives, but also travels to heaven and the underworld. Bailis portrays soft touches of rock, funk, and afrobeat, yet stays fresh and generates a soundscape of modern jazz. “Tree of Life” manages to stay profound, soul-stirring, authentic, and proves to fabricate an enjoyable musical painting of its own” Skope Mag

“Bailis’ guitar playing is exquisite and engaging”
