The Jazz Expressions, led by Bassist Hilliard Greene, may be the best supporting group currently backing a singer.--Bob Blumenthal, Boston Globe

As usual, Hill Greene created a resonating musicality, with full focus and emotional pathos...Hill Greene has a bright future as Solo Bassist, Composer, Accompanist, and Music Director.-- Roberta Zlokower, RobertaOnTheArts.com...
An onslaught of rhythmic accompaniment by Hill Greene...was loud, fast, and visceral. ...[His] work on the upright bass was diverse and committed. On the funk grooves, generally associated with the electric bass guitar, he was convincingly adept, wielding the larger instrument with ease. His solos, whether arco or pizzicato, used the full potential of the instrument, including choral effects and contrivances.--Richard Mayer, Green Mountain Jazz Messenger
