Mike Herriott & Sean Harkness Duo
Herriott’s horn and Harkness’s strings work on a very intimate basis, with elegant sounds abounding in an overall easygoing vibe – not an easy listening vibe, but one that commands attention be paid to the polished accomplishments of the performers.
Geoff Chapman, TheWholeNote.com
…it is clear that guitarist Sean Harkness and fugelhornist Mike Herriott belong on stage or in the studio together..you can cut the chemistry with a knife.
Jazz Inside, New York
You can tell something clicked between the two as they know how to dance around each other in a sprightly fashion that underplays the vibe and smarts running between them.
Midwest Record
..a perfect musical pairing like Cabernet and steak that you can taste for yourself..

Back to Bach (Analekta, 2019)
Harnoy and Herriott have not only brought forth a project of breathtaking beauty, but they have done the near impossible… Harnoy and Herriott have manifested a fresh, innovative and genuine way of presenting this Baroque music in a way that is both exciting and accessible.

There are literally only a handful of individuals in the world who could have accomplished what Herriott has so deftly done on this remarkable project. This recording is a triumph, and a must-have for any serious collector.
