"Incorporating 24-year-old vocalist Veronica Swift, bassist David Wong, and drummer Kenny Washington, among others, Then and Now recalls a jubilant mashup of CTI-era Bob James, the playfulness of Sérgio Mendes, and the kind of hard-bop blowing one expects from a rhythm section of this caliber. The album brims over with happiness and unbridled swing".

"Pianist Benny Green's 20th album as leader, Then And Now, highlights gems from his decades-long career, as well as fresh directions. Featuring his primary-colored trio with bassist David Wong and drummer Kenny Washington, along with complementary splashes from flutist Anne Drummond and vocalist Veronica Swift, the resulting canvas is more than worthy of his legacy ... Appropriate that this album should be released on Sunnyside, drenched as it is in the brightest of talents".
