«If the impression of the Swiss is still unconsciously shaped by Harry Lime, here’s the perfect antidote. There are the torsos of folk themes, a few apparent echoes of American minimalist procedures, some classical forms and shapes, but it’s mostly beyond category. File under “jazz”, “world”, “Euro” or what you will, but do find a place for these on your 2018 shelf.” (Brian Morton, Jazz Journal UK, Feb. 2018)
