"There is much about your performance that is extraordinary but for me most particularly satisfying is that you do not just 'play' the rhythm (and phrasing), you interpret even within the larger context of utterence. It is truly exciting to hear a rendition which knowingly seeks to relate the technical demands of the parameters to the creation of a vast experiential world: a life mirror as it were."

"One of the greatest pleasures in the life of anyone interested in music is an encounter with a performer of extraordinay excellence. At first acquaintance, I was immediately struck by the astonishing musical gifts of flutist Carlton Vickers. Carlton's performances display mastery of both pyrotechnic dazzle and subtle nuance. Brilliant tone, crisp articulation and judicious use of overwhelming power characterize the sonic surface of his playing. Mr. Vickers' musical vision reflects a clear and keen intelligence at work. His ease with contemporary idioms is most impressive."
