"He has taken his experience learned while in the military and applied it to embarking on a career in jazz. He takes initiative, he’s resourceful and confident. It takes talent and strategy to make it in this business and he has both—he has a remarkable bass-baritone voice, which shares similar touch, phrasing, and vibrato with that of Johnny Hartman, the person that inspired him to initially embark upon his career. Sandridge uses vibrato like I rarely hear in jazz." - Chicago Jazz Magazine
