"If Eric Clapton played smooth jazz, he'd sound like Denny Jiosa. Jiosa simmers rather than overpowers. Denny proves he has both smooth and 'real' jazz chops." - Jazziz Magazine

…"Jiosa's lithe melody touches both twinkling harmonies and darker chords, as if illustrating the complexity of humanity." - JazzTimes Magazine

Artists need courage, as well as discernment, to cover a classic because the line between honoring, copying and insulting the original is exceedingly fine, Denny Jiosa's "Europa" pays tribute. - Carol Archer, R&R

"Is that smoke coming out of my CD player?… Jiosa takes it to the next level on "Body2Body"… There are ten out of ten excellent songs on this CD!" - contemporaryjazz.com

"Denny Jiosa is one of the top contemporary jazz guitarist on the scene today… A great blend of contemporary jazz and traditional jazz, with improvising reminiscent of Wes Montgomery." -Music Boulevard

"Jiosa can make his instrument sing rather effortlessly with just his virtuosic control of tone and his masterful style. It is as if the guitars are alive and humming along with the music rather than being played." - Songwriters Monthly

"Body2Body is solid smooth jazz. Pleasurable listening from beginning to end." - smoothjazz.com
