"Son of composer Terry Riley, Gyan's new release beautifully showcases his love of raga, jazz fusion and classic flamenco with simply phenomenal guitar playing.  World class accompanists Tracy Silverman/electric violin, Scott Amendola/drums, and Zakir Hussain on tabla, catapult Riley's compositions to a level way beyond his years."
~ KVMR Top Picks of 2007

" . . . his refined guitar patterns and sensitive melodic hooks have unexpected power and draw the listener in. For the CD's 55 minutes duration, I found myself engrossed."

"Riley demonstrates that he's an effortless distiller of prevailing influences."
~ The Wire, January 2008

" . . . never less than enthralling."
~ Oakland Magazine, July 2008

"No matter how you present it, Food for the Bearded is one beautiful, heartwarming album. Gyan Riley comes through as a sensible instrumentalist and a composer as unclassifiable as his father, Terry Riley. Elements of Spanish classical, contemporary, French jazz, and Indian classical music all become part of [his] style. Gyan Riley emphasizes musicality over novelty without sacrificing creativity in the process. Recommended"
~ Francois Couture, All Music Guide

 "A magnificent first recording replete with imagination, passion and originality.  Hats off, gentlemen.  A genius."
~ Guitarra Magazine
