Donald James, L.A. Watts Times, April 16, 1998
Trombonist Phil Ranelin has always had close encounters with the very best, while he performed with top Jazz musicians in the business including Freddie Hubbard, Marcus Belgrave, Donald Byrd, Norman Connors, Ella Fitzgerald, and Tootie Heath. The Indianapolis native, who currently resides in Los Angeles, is a veteran in his own right, having recorded five albums as a leader.

Italian Writer Director Actress Fan Letter.......2000-09-29
"Dearest Phil: I came back from Paris and found your fantastic CD! Thank you so much for remembering to send it. I am so touched by your music and have been listening to the 9 tracks for the past 2 days. It's a brilliant, heart felt piece of art, life, and I can feel your soul and personality shining through every note you produced. I am sure you're getting all the recognition you deserve for this wonderful album. My favorite tracks are Full Moon, and of course A Close Encounter... Loved also Ya Know What I Mean and the JJ Johnson tribute. BRAVO!!!! Your biggest Italian fan. Asia
