The first CD by the BBQ: Holiday Drive
- Washington Post Review - "...inventive jazz
arrangements... Some tracks are deliriously jaunty,
some... feature a lush evocative sprawl; and on their Santa
Claus Is Coming to Town, he's bouncing all the way."

- International Trumpet Guild Journal review - "...there is something to please everyone on this CD. The ensemble
sounds crisp and very tight throughout. Of special note is Andy Kochenour's tuba playing as he sets the groundwork for some
interesting improvised solos. This is most definitely an ensemble of seasoned musicians. ...I look forward to many more
recordings from this dynamic quintet." [March 2006]
- ChristmasReviews.com Review - "Holiday Drive is a great blend of exuberant joy and
thoughtful contemplation. You can just feel how much fun these folks are having! Oompah!"
