“As the record was created in a short stretch of time, all fresh ideas were intertwined on the spot, giving it a jazz-like rawness that works like a charm. With the background in techniques and theories of New York contemporary jazz, Alan manages to incorporate senses and ideas that are distinct from those of American jazz to create this kind of hybrid music, which speaks volumes of his individuality. This is the first time I have heard music like this from a jazz performer.” - Mitsutaka Nagira
“With its mix of ethereal texture, soothing soundscapes and aesthetic confidence, the album offers listeners an experience at once meditative, transportive and spellbinding… Between Now or Never represents a new chapter in Alan Kwan’s body of work.” - Matt Micucci

“Incisive, beautiful playing and gorgeous writing. Great record, Alan is a voice worth listening to!” - Paul Bollenback
"Alan is a next-generation modern player/composer on the rise, from Hong Kong but with NYC pedigree. Beyond his lush harmonies, seamless rhythmic sophistication and breathy melodies, I connect with the expressiveness and honesty I hear in this array of original compositions that are beautifully recorded. It's music that will appeal to musicians who love this idiom, and to listeners new to jazz who love soothing textures and ethereal melodies. I hear the budding of a prolific composer who I think people will be excited to see/hear where he goes” - Peter Mazza
“…The guitar artistry is exceptional, the tone is warm and rich, the technique is clear, precise and very fluid….” - Fred Hamilton
“This album is full of his brilliancy, warmth and tenacity. The tone heals the listener.” - Daiki Yasukagawa
