Composers BureauDaniel McCarthyBiography "McCarthy's music", writes David Patrick Stearns of U.S.A. Today, "is intriguing, inviting, shimmering. . .with the vigor of pop music and the spontaneity of jazz" . The Music Connoisseur calls McCarthy "One of the hottest young composers on the contemporary music scene - Contemporary in the best sense of the word". 20th Century Music Magazine describes his work as "sassy and foreboding - refreshing and kicky. It's called style."
