SELECTED INTO THE WORLDWIDE TOP-5 LIST "BEST DEBUT ALBUMS OF 2007" BY ALL ABOUT JAZZ MAGAZINE, NEW YORK !
SOME QUOTES FROM THE PRESS:
"Stefan Pasborg definitely prooved that he is one of the best young drummers in Europe. He is supremely skilled in both ‘groove-based’ music with bands like Ibrahim Electric a.o., as well as in more creative music with stars like f.ex Tomasz Stanko"
- Jazz Podium, Germany 2008.
"Stefan Pasborg is one of the recent years' most popular Danish drummers. He has shown his diversity in taste and musical approach, and his triple CD release seems only reasonable....it is almost frighteningly good. The trip through the Laptop has not detracted from the essential quality of Pasborg's drums...Over all, the set is a fantastic manifestation...and it is a perfect CV for the young drummer and proof of his sparkling talent"
- JazzSpecial Magazine, May 2007
Pasborg is extremely attentive towards the tonal dimensions of the drums, and he's displaying a big musicality covering zones from abstract drumming to intense tribal grooves. A real discovery!”
– Jazz Man Magazine, France.
“This is a most adventurous collection of solos, duos and trios featuring the dynamic drumming of Stefan Pasborg. He is a most ambitious and creative drummer and here he has put together a fascinating project with his drums at the center. Considering that this is a triple disc, it is pretty amazing throughout!”
- Downtown Music Gallery, USA.
