Cadence Magazine June 2005 Hopalong Review:

"All three of these players (with one guest spot for pianist Novak) are as far from synthetic as it is possible to be. This is elegantly-played, spacious improvising that harks back to early George Benson and, at points, to the magical recordings that Lucky Thompson did with Oscar Pettiford and Skeeter Best. Tountas and Tot are very good soloists and ensemble players, and Jones''s drumming is steady and never intrusive. Tountas''s originals are varied and melodic. This music deserves to be heard."

CIMP''s new release, "Lost In The Stars", is released with Marc Pompe on vocals, Curt Warren, Guitar, Nick Tountas, bass, Rusty Jones on drums.

Excerpts from Chicago Jazz Magazine March 2004 issue:

Says Larry Smith of Station WBEZ Chicago: "Nick''s infallibly reliable bass work has complimented many of our local greats, as well as national and international stars that include Marian McPartland, Marcus Belgrave, Bill Watrous, Carl Fontana, Lee Konitz and Charlie Rouse, to name a few.

Like all of Nick''s music, this album, "Hopalong" is bursting with originality, intensity, and humor.

Nick''s latest recording, Hopalong, includes a new collection of his intriguing and catchy originals. Paired again with Zvonimir Tot on guitar, the two explore their respective Greek and Yugoslavian roots in a very tasty ethnic Jazz mix.
