***** (5 stars) - Michael Tucker, Jazz Journal Magazine, UK
**** (4 stars) The Whistleblower succeeds in consolidating the sometimes competing aspects of Gilad Atzmon’s musical personality into a more complete, unified artistic statement than was apparent on several of his previous albums. - Stuart Nicholson, JazzWise Magazine, UK (cover story)
***** (5 stars) - Trevor LaBonte, The Ugly Truth, UK **** (4 stars) - Ian Mann, The Jazz Mann, UK
**** (4 stars) - Stephen Graham, Marlbank, UK
"One of the most enjoyable releases of the year so far. - Tim Stenhouse, UK Vibe
"Atzmon … as forthright in his music as in his opinions, as witty and playful, as deadly serious, as exuberant and intense, as romantic and sentimental, as visceral and pugilistic, and as generally bursting with personality. This is a man who appears to live life at a higher, wilder, riskier level than most of us have the energy for." - Peter Bacon, The Jazz Breakfast, UK
"The Whistle Blower is beautiful in many ways. It leaves the listener with melodies to savor. It is balanced, well delivered and the varied menu is sure to cater for many tastes. On the album sleeve, Gilad Atzmon states that the compositions are about love, nostalgia, devotion and simplicity — and that he hopes the listener enjoys listening to is as much as the band enjoyed making it. I think it is safe to say that has been achieved." - Sammy Stein, Something Else, USA | | |

His playing focuses on the alto and soprano saxophones, but his accordion playing is also worthy of note, adding a jauntier and more upbeat feel to his often plaintive reeds."Gaza Mon Amour" is a fiery opener — fast, danceable, energetic and positive. The following half-dozen tunes have a gentler, mellower, vibe. "Forever" is a beautiful ballad, http://email.robly.com/mpss/c/mQA/LSsXAA/t.1p8/yAA2L35gQdaqjjgLEEaq2Q/h27/DZll7-2BK3psjAITq9qC9zipFpb4zN8ekzIh80yDS11pFf0IKOwk1Cq0xPUjNYNYdJTW-2BwY1IctfbJXLHtY0F3mIW703AaUdK9wTc83ShmBhs-3D" rel="nofollow - http://email.robly.com/mpss/c/mQA/LSsXAA/t.1p8/yAA2L35gQdaqjjgLEEaq2Q/h28/DZll7-2BK3psjAITq9qC9zipFpb4zN8ekzIh80yDS11pFf0IKOwk1Cq0xPUjNYNYdJTW-2BwY1IctfbJXLHtY0F3mIW703AaUdK9wTc83ShmBhs-3D" rel="nofollow - - Harrison 's piano are cool, http://email.robly.com/mpss/c/mQA/LSsXAA/t.1p8/yAA2L35gQdaqjjgLEEaq2Q/h30/DZll7-2BK3psjAITq9qC9zipFpb4zN8ekzIh80yDS11pFf0IKOwk1Cq0xPUjNYNYdJTW-2BwY1IctfbJXLHtY0F3mIW703AaUdK9wTc83ShmBhs-3D" rel="nofollow - takes inspiration from John Coltrane's spiritual jazz: it's an ambitious tune with some fine extended solos, though its impact would be heightened by reducing its length. The Gallic-flavored "The Song" puts the accordion center-stage and features the album's most graceful melody, while the dynamic "To Be Free" slowly builds and releases tension through soprano sax and piano solos. The Ensemble return to the romantic ballad with "For Moana" —Atzmon's paean to Italian adult-movie actress and politician Moana Pozzi, his "vintage romantic heroine." http://email.robly.com/mpss/c/mQA/LSsXAA/t.1p8/yAA2L35gQdaqjjgLEEaq2Q/h31/DZll7-2BK3psjAITq9qC9zipFpb4zN8ekzIh80yDS11pFf0IKOwk1Cq0xPUjNYNYdJTW-2BwY1IctfbJXLHtY0F3mIW703AaUdK9wTc83ShmBhs-3D" rel="nofollow - is a cheesy, tongue-in-cheek, tune full of wolf whistles, clichéd rhythms, http://email.robly.com/mpss/c/mQA/LSsXAA/t.1p8/yAA2L35gQdaqjjgLEEaq2Q/h32/DZll7-2BK3psjAITq9qC9zipFpb4zN8ekzIh80yDS11pFf0IKOwk1Cq0xPUjNYNYdJTW-2BwY1IctfbJXLHtY0F3mIW703AaUdK9wTc83ShmBhs-3D" rel="nofollow - Tali Atzmon 's wordless lounge-jazz singing and a rather jolly vocal chorus from the gentlemen of the http://email.robly.com/mpss/c/mQA/LSsXAA/t.1p8/yAA2L35gQdaqjjgLEEaq2Q/h33/DZll7-2BK3psjAITq9qC9zipFpb4zN8ekzIh80yDS11pFf0IKOwk1Cq0xPUjNYNYdJTW-2BwY1IctfbJXLHtY0F3mIW703AaUdK9wTc83ShmBhs-3D" rel="nofollow - Ensemble .
