“Already from the first track you are blown backwards in your chair. These guys mean business! Three musicians with more than just normal control over their respective instruments (grand piano, acoustic bass and drums) and with an exceptionally good musical chemistry give the music wings throughout the album. In between, extra petrol is put on the engines so that the music flies across the sky like an F16. The first track 'Planet P' is the most powerful thing I remember hearing this year from a piano trio.”
All That...
“The trio weaves seamlessly between moods with fluidity, personality, and confidence, creating a sonic tapestry that celebrates the distinct evolutions of jazz from both sides of the Atlantic. Rhythmically dense basslines, emotive piano-led songwriting, and staggering drum solos unite each musician’s unmistakable voice in a dedicated and impassioned celebration of their craft.”
Jazz in Europe
“There’s a book to be written about meetings between American and European jazz artists and how, instead of clashing, extroverts and introverts unite in an ambivert ideal of energetic rhythm and placid harmony. Take this album by the Danish pianist Carl Winther, the Danish-Faroese-Icelandic bassist Richard Andersson and drummer Jeff “Tain” Watts, from Pennsylvania. Forget ECM austerity — you will believe a Scandi can swing.”
The Times
“I don’t care what country you’re looking at, you’re not going to find more passionate players than Winther, Watts, and Andersson.”
