"Unspoken was inspired by those powerful moments in life that are beyond words, moments of intense happiness or tragedy. Communications beyond words; unspoken. Enjoy!" ~  Adrian Cunningham

"Through his beautifully played clarinet and tenor, Adrian tells us exactly what he has to say; and it's certainly worth hearing, believe me!" ~ Don Burrows AO MBE

"This new and emerging young jazz artist has a refreshing sound and style all his own beautiful" ~ James Morrison AM
