"Anschell presents one lovely melody after another and follows that up with adventurous improvisation. His keyboard work brings out crystal clear patterns that sparkle. The session offers variety and fresh material."

– Jim Santella, allaboutjazz.com

"Bill Anschell has hit another home run with his new release, When Cooler Heads Prevail, an astonishing follow-up to his very successful 1998 release, a different note all together."

– Larry Dane-Kellogg, Noteworthy (Coastal Jazz Association)
 

"Cooler Heads is a superb document - forward-leaning both harmonically and rhythmically, with a clear reverence for the past

– James Rozzi, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
 

"Anschell's original compositions are inventive and delightful...(his) relaxed and fluid playing can become powerful and intense when called upon.”

– Ed Trefzger, Yellow Dog Jazz Review
