“Subtle genius.”
Elliott Simon, All About Jazz


“…a jazz pianist who still hasn’t quite received the ovations that her unique talents deserve.”
Don Heckman, Int'l Review of Music
These performances [on Domestic Harmony] portray a warmth that goes beyond the collegiality of most jazz.
Martin Johnson, Wall Street Journal
Whether improvising freely or working within standard jazz structures, Roberta Piket and Billy Mintz show that there is no genre that they cannot conquer.
Terrell Holmes, The New York City Jazz Record

Third time through this [online] solo hit… it’s superb… you need to see the welcome mat she puts out for “Monk’s Dream.” 

Jim Macnie (@hapboym)


“It’s Piket’s two-handed keyboard work that has Keith Jarrett’s facility but more guts….”
Ken Waxman, NYC Jazz Record

“Roberta Piket is a revelation on the piano, a virtuosa whose skill and innovation can enliven and transform any song.”
NYC Jazz Record

“Wonderful and versatile…. A strikingly fine pianist and composer… Expect jazz in its more multi-limbed, open-ended definition.”
Josef Woodard, Santa Barbara News-Press
“Roberta Piket isn’t a blusterer: each of her pieces seeks to solve a particular problem, and she’s quietly been working on form and conceptual matters in the spirit of devoted explorers like Chick Corea and Richie Beirach.”
Ben Ratliff, New York Times


“Roberta is a force to be reckoned with and one to watch.”
Mike Stratton, 89.7FM, WLNZ, Lansing, MI


“The revelation of this year’s (Earshot Jazz) festival was Roberta Piket.”
JazzTimes

“Roberta Piket is not as well-known as she should be, but “Solo” gives plenty of examples of her deep, rich talent.”
Thomas Cunniffe, Jazz History Online


“Piket is emerging as one the top tier of improvising pianists around today.”
Dave Wayne, AllAboutJazz.com


“Pianist and composer Roberta Piket stands among the elite minds of modern jazz.”
National Public Radio
[West Coast Trio] is a masterful album, a poignant reminder of how compelling small group interplay can be…
Thomas Stauder, Ossining Gazette
At the Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival…despite her phenomenal talent, Piket had a refreshingly down-to-earth rapport with the audience…a tour-de-force.
Rochester City Newspaper
“An exceptional modern-jazz pianist hovering just outside the radar, Piket looks beyond the tradition while tipping her hat to its verities.
The New Yorker



“A sense of discovery abounds.”
Billboard Magazine

“(Critic’s Choice) Constantly curious, she has released a series of recordings probing across the landscape from retro-mainstream to free jazz.”
Don Heckman, Los Angeles Times
“If you were lucky enough to hear Roberta Piket…you heard an exceptional talent…with probing lyricism and creative fluency…a fine instinct for leading a rhythm section…always taking the music to a more elevated plateau.”
Los Angeles New Times
“Piket plays with a studied abandon… she’s completely familiar with the entire history of jazz piano which she translates into a comfortably post-modern attitude…. What a gift to evoke everyone from Jelly Roll Morton to Stanley Cowell!”
Jan P. Dennis, Audiophile Audition


“A modern romantic with a contemporary harmonic sense and a timeless genius for inventing fresh, crisp ideas.”
Owen McNally, Hartford Courant

“A favorite of Marian McPartland, Piket is a deeply swinging, intelligent, two–fisted pianist.”
Paul deBarros, Seattle Times
