"Institute of Higher Learning is a thoroughly satisfying - and in places visionary – big-band date, offering a fine showcase for Werner's seemingly limitless gifts as a pianist, bandleader, and a composer who is now in a league of his own." (Allmusic.com, October 2011)
"Even though the creators surely had to attend an Institute of Higher Learning to conceive this music, no degree is required to understand or enjoy it. One could call it 'Institute of Harder Swinging' " (W. Friedwald, The Wall Street Journal, March 2012)
