"Stephen is a tasteful and inventive jazz pianist, who is adept at conveying the different moods evoked by the standard jazz repertoire. Aside from his playing, his knowledge of Chinese healing arts lends a unique holistic aspect to his teaching of music."
-- Jeff Gardner, pianist
On Stephen's latest recording, Tessera:
"Pianist Stephen Page, along with the other fine musicians in the quartet, have recorded a collection of classic tunes. Stephen's lush harmonic choices are enhanced by his plush, melodic touch. The four gifted musicians of Tessera present a program of music which is well worth a listen."
-- Andy LaVerne, pianist
"Stephen Page and his group provided the Portland Museum of Art's Jazz Breakfast with an absolutely delightful morning of the best in Jazz. Their program was enjoyed by us all and you can be sure we will be using them again and again."
-- Cissie Lindemann, Directer of the Portland Museum of Art Jazz Breakfasts
"Stephen Page is a talented jazz pianist who shines in the performance mode as brightly as he does as an instructor at the Chappell School of Music, River Tree Center for the Arts in Kennebunk, ME. He is meticulous in his teaching methodology and his students excel under his tutelage. Many of his jazz piano students have won awards, including scholarships to pursue a career in music at such prestigious institutions as the Berklee School of Music in Boston. At the Chappell School of Music, Stephen Page and Jazz are synonymous!"
-- Beverly Broyles, Executive Directer, Rivertree Center for the Arts

"Stephen is a superb jazz pianist. While his repertoire is broad, he brings to the jazz medium a merging of music and musician that is the sign of special talent. We have been honored to have Stephen and his colleagues play for guests at our home."
-- Gran & Bonnie Bowie, Executive Directors, The Kodiak Foundation, Kennebunk, ME
"We 'discovered' Stephen nearly seven years ago, and since then have had him play for us - sometimes solo, sometimes with his trio - on numerous occasions, from weddings to holiday parties to business functions. He has an extraordinary repertoire, and is always able to tailor his offerings to fit the occasion. He consistently has added a great deal of elegance and class to every event we've had."
-- Erin Edwards, M.A., CCC-SLP, President, The Futures HealthCore
On Stephen's accompaniment of a pastel painting workshop:
"Stephen ... thank you for playing at my pastel workshop on Saturday. Your beautiful music added so much to our whole experience and indeed helped to inspire the work which was created that afternoon. At the end of the day we reviewed all the paintings as a group and we agreed that those painted as you played had the most 'life' and were the most successful works. Thank you for sharing your talent with us."
