Cameron Brown says of Harvey, "Harvey Diamond is a unique and brilliant musician: a pianist's pianist with a remarkable touch, unimpeachable technique and enormous dynamic range. A creative and unpredictable improvisor, Harvey's roots go back to Lennie Tristano and Bill Evans, spiced with just a touch of Cecil Taylor. He draws the audience into his world and holds it spellbound." Critic Steve Elman of The Arts Fuse says, "Pianist Harvey Diamond is almost as revered among Boston musicians as the Dalai Lama is in Tibet."
