reviews

“An intense and different experience.”
– Oliver Weindling, London Jazz News

“Impressive sound structures with several stories and a multitude of winding rooms”
– Rainer Bratfisch, Jazz Podium

“They swirl around each other, carry one other, with musicality and deeply felt emotions as the greatest good.”
– Herman te Loo, Jazzflits

– Christoph Irrgeher, Wiener Zeitung

“Their interplay is strong, intimate and unerring”
– Henk Jansen, De Klarinet

“An album that stands out musically, precisely because it has its very own sound. An exciting listening experience. ”

“An authentic adventure”
– Ernst Mitter, Freistil
