“Haney’s jagged and contemplative clusters of notes, sometimes creating a brooding, pensive mood reminiscent of a Jackson Pollack painting and other times setting forth a forward momentum that reminds you that this music comes from that essential kernel of jazz creation: swing.” ICE Magazine

“One of the most inventive pianists in the USA...” Bruce Lee Gallanter, Downtown Music Gallery
