Ingrid Laubrock

“Laubrock’s ever-expanding compositional vision forms a genre-fluid super-sextet here, all six members capable of shifting seamlessly between free-jazz, avant-rock, and delicate classical-string textures [...] [Her] openness to so many contemporary sounds at once seems to have hit a new level.”

Nana Rashid

“This hugely impressive debut album from Danish vocalist Nana Rashid follows her well-received four-track EP, Sorrow in Sunlight, which she released in 2016 [...] with the understated, hypersensitive accompaniment of the Danish jazz piano trio Little North adding greatly to the intimate atmosphere.” 

https://www.prestomusic.com/jazz/products/9456706--billy-valentine-and-the-universal-truth" rel="nofollow - Billy Valentine and the Universal Truth  

Billy Valentine

“...Valentine is in fine voice in his senior years, appearing to be positively invigorated by this new project. Collaborating with Bob Thiele Jr, son of the Bob who started Impulse! and head of the rebooted, much-loved Flying Dutchman label (partnered with UK imprint Acid Jazz), Valentine has gone into classic 1970s soul territory with an album that is classily helmed.”

“...simply a joy to listen to, with Evans’ touch as light as a feather, his mood upbeat, confident - almost playful - and his playing ingenious, bringing freshness to even the most familiar tunes.”
