Lightsey, Elekes, Moye; 'Goodbye Mr. Evans' erreichte Nummer 3 der US Radio Jazz-Charts und 4 ½ Sterne im 'Downbeat'. Die CD hatte exzellente Kritiken, vorwiegend in den Vereinigten Staaten:
„Seldom does a piano, bass and drums trio disperse this much spice and fire on one track, and then plays beautiful compositions on another way the Kirk Lightsey trio does.“
(Arts & Entertainment)
„And I loved bassist Tibor Elekes’s sound and note placement right from his short intro in the first cut. Like Charlie Haden, he emphasizes the low end on the the instrument, and when he solos, it’s never like listening to rubber bands snapping.“
(Jessica Williams, ListeningIn.)
„In terms of pure sound, Elekes‘ waltz-time adaptation of Chopin’s 6th Etude offers the best showcase of all for Lightsey... Atop Elekes‘ gentle arrangement, Lightsey sings the piece in as convincing a fashion as he would a bebop or a blues refrain...“
(Jazziz.)
