"Gladwin’s talents are expansive and too formidable for her to be pigeonholed into clichéd ethereal flourishes. Even if the harp never becomes a standard part of the jazz combo, players like Gladwin make a point for its place on the bandstand".

- Terrell Holmes, All About Jazz New York, August 2010.


“Rachael Gladwin evoked an Alice Coltrane ambience by playing some of the hippest harp London had heard for years. Some of her mid-range octave passages sounded like Wes Montgomery stretching out on guitar.”

Jack Massarik, The London Evening Standard, December 2010
