"His newest project, after his collaboration ‘Foreign Xchange’ with Paul Brown, will surely take you back in time as he assembled some of the most beautiful classical melodies and arranged them in a modern, smooth jazz way. A refreshing treatment for these classical tunes, in the hands of a gifted guitarist. I must confess although I’m not into classical music, that this contemporary project is very much to my liking! Thanks Marc for making me stretch my boundaries." -Patrick Van de Wiele, smoothjazz.eu
"Marc Antoine once declared: "So now I am a smooth jazz artist, but I don't consider myself being a smooth jazz artist because I am a musician and I think I'm mixing a lot of things in my music." With his new album My Classical Way he re-defines his position as guitarist and his relationship to music. This album is a return to the period, when he studied Classical music guitar in Paris." -Hans-Bernd Hulsmann, smooth-jazz.de
"Esteemed Smooth Jazz guitarist Marc Antoine has created a truly fresh collection of signature performances with MY CLASSICAL WAY. His inspiration for this project revolves around the timeless greats. Works from the likes of Bizet, Paganini, Debussy, Mozart, and Bach are given passionate, beautiful, contemporary interpretations, largely utilizing Brazilian and Latin rhythms, by one of today's most adored musicians, with help from his long-time friend and collaborator Philippe Saisse. The results... simply incredible! From his classical studies in Paris as a teenager to his undeniable success in jazz and pop to revisiting his roots in a whole new way, Marc states that "MY CLASSICAL WAY brings me full circle and it's wonderful to finally share this part of my musical heart and upbringing with everyone." From a listener's perspective, I feel honored to be able to enjoy the rich relationship between the old masters and a truly inspired current master!" -Scott O'Brien, smoothjazz.com
