Reviews
'I took notice of a huge and exceptional musical talent. Bold and headstrong, you have to dare to do it nowadays.
As a trio you communicate with each other in a way that is continuously full of surprises. In an almost movielike
abstract manner you show that you want much more than just to play a melody.
My comparison touches upon the Nino Rota of the twenty first century.'
Frits Hooft, musical adviser Public Broadcast, the Netherlands Juli 2010

'...astonishingly beautiful. Here
we have three musicians who take up a challenge and are able to form a
unity, each from their own expertise.... A record to

'This trio manages to sound as one, without giving just one of its members the leading
role. The individual qualities of each member are extensively magnified,
and their quest for each other's skills makes this album extremely exciting...highly recommended'

relaxed swing and coherent improvisations.'
