"...They create very open and wide structures and take time to develop things.
Their improvisations originate on stage or in studio without much pretension.
This results in very captivating music that is never in a hurry and working very
consequent to its goal..It's just there.” Dolf Mulder, Vital Weekly, Netherlands
