- "Rodriguez is both a first-rate jazz trumpeter and an ebullient, entertaining performer… he devoted his entire program to Latin rhythm transformations of Christmas music -- from salsa-drenched versions of 'O Tannenbaum' and 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas' to a sweetly lyrical flugelhorn rendering of 'The Christmas Song.'" --Los Angeles Times
