"Harmonic/melodic sophistication, astute phrasing and the willingness to reference groove once in a while combine to relate cogent and developed thematic material that wastes neither time nor space in its execution. A more thorough exploration in the ebb and flow of restraint and intensity would be hard to find." |

"Three exceptional improvisers comfortable in the art of instant interaction join forces and unleash an exceptional aural treat on 9 Moments. (...) Expectancy is belied by surprise, the ordinary by excellence." |

| This music might be one of the finer examples of how free jazz can be tailored into not randomly coherent, but orchestrated, coherence. Mark Corroto - All About Jazz Imaginative and challenging, it accurately evokes the themes of strangeness and beauty that commingle in the distant structures and spaces of our universe as Hübsch’s inspiration for this work.

| A delirious mix of avant-garde composition and New Orleans style collective improvisation. - Indie Jazz "Trappola" is a great disc that doesn't quite sound like anything else I've heard in a while. Bruce Lee Gallanter, Downtown Music Gallery Blending freewheeling structures, fervent improvisation and ironic humor with Old World traditions, Schubert and company lend a new wrinkle to the tried and true. Historical revisionism never sounded so good.. Troy Collins - All About Jazz |

"At their most laissez-faire, these pieces are tributes to four colleagues whose playing I adore: structures that enable me to finagle my friends into improvising together in certain combinations at certain times. But where they are more determinate, the tunes are devised as an excuse to indulge my lyrical side". (K.Bruckmann) |

Joëlle Léandre : contrebasse |
||||||||
"Duets of any configuration in the avant-garde decry any idea of leader-sideman. This explains the many bass-led duets, a concept alien to hardbop circles, of which bassist Joëlle Léandre is a veteran. Her latest two-disc set on the Canadian imprint Red Toucan, Signature, pairs her with two drastically different Japanese pianists: Masahiko Satoh and Yuji Takahashi. Though the two 30+ minute sessions, recorded live in Japan on two days in December 2000, showcase her forceful playing, they are ultimately a reflection of each pianist’s identity."

"Georg and John had not played together for 15 years (formerly in Graewe's Grubenklang Orchestra in 1985/86)
until this recording but their immediate rapport belies this fact...they match perfectly from the first moment on this cd. The trio's music making on this disc is nothing short of passionate musical introspection."Drimala |

The music on this CD was created during our tour as a trio in Finland in the summer of 1999. We recorded in the Kerubi Club in Joensuu, a small industrial town in central Finland. The very "dry" acoustics in the small nightclub altered our approach to some of the compositions. We liked the outcome... (N. Yudanov) |

After listening to jazz (Mingus, Cecil Taylor, Monk, Dolphy), "I quickly got into the free, improvised realm where, for me, Derek Bailey is extremely important, also George Lewis and Irène Schweizer, and for sure, Anthony Braxton. Meeting Derek in New York several years ago had nearly the same impact on me as meeting Cage" (J. Léandre - Kanach, 1991) |

| ¨ ...In Leandre's hands, the bass can sing, shout, or sigh with a soulful power.... At times, it seems almost impossible that all of this music could be coming from one person. Each of these improvisations are spectacular pieces of spontaneous composition, shaped out of textural abstractions, melodic threads, and keen references to the Jazz bass tradition. This is music full of gesture, detail, and dramatic scope. No Comment is an indispensable addition to Leandre's already massive list of recordings, and a stellar recital of solo improvisation.¨ Michael Rosenstein |

Powerful sound emerges from the universe when...( Stevens and Whitecage ) ...improvise on very short forms composed by Stevens ....a volatile and stunning synergy that comes from their long association with each other. ...a culmination of everything they have done over a decade...this collaborative method of `composing in the moment` ...Whitecage fascinated with sound, ambience and melody, Stevens with harmony. ...together, they make miraculous and beautiful artistry that tells the long story of their vital relationship to each other, to the established and emerging musicians of the modern genre and to the music itself. ¨ Laura Arbuckle |

Rosco Blur
|
||||||||
An album with a pervasive groove,adding spoken words to improvised jazz ; it features Paul Plimley showing his great versatility on piano, + west-coast percussionist Dylan van der Schyff. This is a dynamic mixture with catchy melodies, exotic ambiences, kind of lounge music with attitude. Rosco's performance on sax can be passionate and reveal a gritty sound when the music is energetic, or soothing when it turns moody ; it also leaves space for creative involvement from his friends. A promising first album. - Indie Jazz |

¨ From the first spare notes of this extraordinary recording of piano and percussion music, it is clear that Dana Reason is finding her own creative voice, without paying heed to the boundaries that define jazz, classical, or new music....what emerges sometimes delicately, sometimes boldly, from the sympathetic interplay of piano and percussion is less a declaration of virtuosity and style than an unfolding of meaning and an expression of that ineffable quality, musical integrity.
