“Bit by bit this piece of work is growing into a rock of intruiging actual music. Who knows maybe even ‘the’ jazz of the twenty-first century. A strong group.”

Volkskrant (2009)

“In the title piece Turkisch melismatisms are melting together with jazzy exploration impulse into a wonderfull Tango. Highlight is Ol Bosperus of Lotz with wringing glissandi out of the ud over a sultry groove.” 

Volkskrant (on concert 2007)

“Kamil Erdem with integral teamwork and virtuoso solos. An impressive performance.”
