The legendary Leon Russianoff described Dr. Buss’s style as "imaginative, sincere, rewarding to both performers and audiences, and without the gimmickry which is so prevalent in contemporary music today". Upon hearing his music critics have written: "By far the night’s most memorable piece" - The Los Angeles Times, "This is truly one of the finest works in our idiom" - Robert McCormick in the Florida Percussive News, and "The evening’s highlight" - The Maine Sunday Telegram.

His works are frequently selected to be included and analyzed in doctoral dissertations, lectures, professional music journals, and music literature bibliographies and a number of his compositions have been commercially recorded.
Howard Buss received his B.A. in Performance from West Chester University in Pennsylvania, M.M. in Performance and M.M. in Composition from Michigan State University, and D.M.A. in Composition from the University of Illinois.
