The playing and writing on this record (Baden verboten) is outstanding.".. .. Richie Beirach: "This is a fine example of excellent young german jazz musicians. The heads are interesting with unusual lines and rhythmic dexterities. The solos are fresh and powerful and the music is a very creative combination of group interaction and real through-down burnout intensity. Recommended highly!".. .. Antonio Hart: "This is a wonderful project full of interesting compositions, and a lot of energy. The blend between the two saxophones is excellent and the rhythm section is a great unit.
