"Assadullahi is of a new generation of jazz musicians who have the compositional understanding, technique and improvisational skill to create complex works with beautiful melodies while at the same time drawing on a multitude of styles. He uses pop, swing, straightahead, classical, free and other genres as construction pieces." - Elliott Simon New York City Jazz Record
