"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."

"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."
