""The Road Scholar" made me interested in fingerstyle guitar. A blazing, melodic, driving piece, it opens the CD with a rush. Much of the album is more restrained, with a focus on melody and tone that makes for a wonderful set. There are some powerful tunes among the contemplative ones--"Miasma" is a minor key whirlwind, and "Firefall" is a fun piece inspired by meteor showers--but his tone and technique are flawless throughout. Mize is a master."
Soooooooo mellow.....

"I find this cd very reminiscent of some of my favorite Hawaiin slack key guitar masters, like Keola Beamer. The style is very clean, clear, smooth, and mellow. This man is one of those rare artists that make you wish you had that kind of talent (without flaunting it at the expense of the music). Very enjoyable. I can work to it, read to it, and you know what to it. I'm anxious to hear more by this great find."
