    "... Akoben, a funky blast of '80s fun that rises above the genre through his superb horn work. He captures the best of the era--hot, sultry playing that boasts hidden depths, sort of like Miles Davis' strange yet pioneering Tutu and Amandla."

    "DC area trumpet player, songwriter and producer Harold Little debuted in 2009 with the EP Daddy's Groove. Harold incorporates on this album Funk undertones with a hint of Go-Go Swing. His sophomore album Akoben (2017) is a testimony of his African roots in a multicultural diversity".

    ". . . All the way from “git-down" funk to the hippest of the hip & even a brief foray into church-like gospel, Harold reaches out to your ears and energizes them with his totally unique trumpet and flugelhorn work . . ."

    Trumpeter Harold Little gets fun and funky on this upbeat and plugged in session. Complete with a heavy backbeat rotating rhythm team, guitars, reeds and even a choir, Akoben swings over a slapping bass on “East of the River" and Headhunting keyboards on Stomp the Roaches..."

    "The new 5-song EP is a musical expression of the passion that exudes from Harold. Although he's played for countless gifted musicians, this is his solo debut recording. Blending influences from styles like Funk, Go-Go, Soul, R&B, and of course Jazz, Daddy's Groove is certain to put a pep in the step of any listener".
