press digest:

‚Extremely controlled, where alloys of very varied sounds appear, noises, friction, groping approaches, all in a great mutual listening. High quality music, complex and demanding.‘
Jean Buzelin, culturejazz.fr

‚Attentively communicating experts…. It is also coherent how electronics (electric guitar with various effects units, samplers) and acoustic instruments cooperate here and lead to attractive color mixes. It goes without saying that the four highly concentrated musicians do not restrict themselves to conventional tone formation, but rather appreciate the delimitation and create remarkable sound mutations with their instruments. A live set too, free from idle motion and improvisational clichés.’ Udo Andris, Jazz Podium 4/20

‚What I dig the most about great improv is that when it connects, it takes us away and stimulates our imaginations, displaying some sort of film for our collective mind’s inner eye & ear. This disc is a strong transportation device which takes us to another (inner) world.’ Bruce L. Gallanter, Downtown Music Gallery (NY)

‚The wit of the musicians is surprising, their keen perception, their unleashed simultaneous play, the grasp for unision performance und free flying counterpoints, that personal gesture at the right spot. The organic body of sound implodes and explodes into thousands of micro particles and passages that appear to have been written out. The different moods, sound contrasts and flowing batches result into an extraordinarily dense musical experience.’ P. Bossart, Jazz & More Magazine (CH) ****

‚Due to the reticence at the beginning, a continuous course of events arises, in which structural details of individual adult and re-ebbing episodes are acquired in order to be dismantled or transferred into something new. It is wonderful to hear how musicians of this quality are able to mutually guide and complement each other, but also to throw in, sustainably represent and contrast with the current course of events in question, and thus change it.’ Freistil magazine (A)
‚We particularly appreciate the fertile and lively dialogue between the saxophone and the keyboards in Part II, supported by the rhythms imposed by Fabrizio Spera, crossed by some exacerbated and erratic flashes of the guitarist, as well as some more melodic (and peaceful) passages that dot Part IV.‘ Pierre Durr, Revue & Corriggèe 12/19

‚Here again we discover a circumstance in which the musicians explore the relationships between composition and improvisation, and they do so with a vengeance. …a fine album of eclectic music with a unique and exhilarating sound.’ Ken Cheetham, jazzviews.net

‚Rome-ing is much more classic — classic jazz or even classical — although it does also include some extended technique to spice up what is sometimes a rather supple or even quasi-Romantic atmosphere. And Leimgruber does get assertive, or even raucous at times.’ Todd McComb’s Jazz thoughts
‚The music of this album is passing through different kinds of moods – from silent pauses it jumps on striking attacks, wild culminations, dreamy lullabies, passionate flows, transcendental light passages, expressive melodies or sometimes gets back to heavy, solemn, abstract, sophisticated, depressed and dark pieces. That makes an effort to original and exciting sound.’ Avant Scena contemporary music blog Dec. 18, 2019
‚The musicians continue without interruption and always find the end of a continuously woven strand. The audience listens intently and welcomes the quartet and the return of improvised music to the capital.‘ MusicZoom.it

‚This mind-altering journey is the antithesis to easy listening fare. Then again, we wouldn't expect anything less from these shrewd instrumentalists.’ Glenn Astarita, allaboutjazz.com

‚In fact, an original way of improvising like the cat which, wherever and whatever it does, always falls on its feet.‘ Jean-Michel Schouwburg, Orynx Improvandsounds

‚…consistently fascinating.‘ Ken Waxman, The Whole Note Oct.20
