d a tidy, little career of being one thing…unique! The style has this old-school fervor to its music sheets"
"Dachtyl extracts such elegance and smooth cool from her keys, the arrangements offer imaginative flair and are blurred from textbook regulations. For Hep Cats takes the blues mentality and injects the jazz feel properly with a charismatic approach." ......
..."Dachtyl takes control on this spin and attaches a very pleasant and at times, naughty feel to it." Karl Stober EJazznews.com

"In fact, we (Columbus, OH) may be the B3 capital of the world thanks to legendary figures like Don Patterson and Hank Marr—and to the B3 jockeys now playing at home and away, like Tony Monaco, Bobby Floyd and Linda Dachtyl... who counts Monaco and Marr among her major influences. Dachtyl began getting national attention with her release Blue Bop, but she can still be heard at area clubs like the Thirsty Ear and Dick’s Den." Lee Brown, The Other Paper, July 31, 2008

"Linda Dachtyl strikes appropriately blue moods on "For Hep Cats" (Chicken Coup Records), a fine album of smoky organ jazz recorded with Robert Kraut (guitar) and Gene Walker (tenor sax). She kicks the pedals to push the jaunty "Tone Wheel Grease"; "Trouble" swings irrepressibly; Jimmy McGriff's "Turn Blue" is slow moving dynamite. Three superior vocals round out the proceedings;
Lady Nikki Scott's "Since I Fell For You" narrowly edges Larry Smith's "Little Red Rooster" and Columbus, Ohio singer Jazzmary on Nina Simone's "Do I Move You?"
Dachtyl has good chops and feel, and she adjusts her tones carefully to evoke elegance or grease as required. There is no sound more beautiful than a Hammond organ played well."..Tom Hyslop, Blues R***e Magazine, June/July 2008

"Linda takes us past the benches of those jazz organists who have influenced her through the years as well as those who have rocked her soul and put blues in her heart. It can be silky one moment and ferocious the next. One thing for sure, she gets right down to the nitty gritty from the first note on." Pete Fallico, KCSM San Mateo & KUSP Santa Cruz, www.doodlinlounge.com

.."The “LD” in LDB3 stands for Linda Dachtyl who continues
the burnin’ B3 Columbus traditions set by Hank Marr, Don
Patterson, and Tony Monaco." "Linda is superb in every department, on every track. Her solos soar, her unison playing is tight, her supporting fills like Baby Bear’s porridge – not too hot, not too cold, but just right!".. Fritz the Night Owl, WJZA.com

.. "LDB3 featuring Dachtyl, shows how comfortably the bluesy Hammond organ can coexist with contemporary jazz. On “Sudden Samba,” the keyboardist goes from silky accompaniment to grinding solos that blend elements of blues, R&B, and gospel.".. Jazziz.com
