" Traditionally, nocturnes are suites for easing the transition into deep rest. Tedder's pieces do exactly that with a sweet and gentle combination of sounds."

-Dan List/Aquarius Magazine

"This tape features sounds of the refuge including frog serenades, thunderstorms and rain showers beautifully woven into Sammy's soft and lovely jazz sounds. Mr. Tedder's artistry in blending his melodius jazz music with the natural sounds of the area authentically preserves and marvelously represnts our native area and gives a delightful listening experience."

" ...an appealing, intelligent, ethereal record of impressionistic instrumental music, that just happens to have a few frogs as hired musicians...simply beautiful"

-Mark Hinson/Tallahassee Democrat Newspaper

"It's a beautiful album -- very unique and, I think, a tribute to the majesty of nature's wonders in a part of the sunshine State that is all too often overlooked. "
