Artist Endorsement

George Gruntz – Swiss jazz pianist, composer and bandleader

“Starting from the selection of songs, this CD fully met my taste.
The original compositions are executed with fantastic technical mastery—no note is unnecessary, and a wide range of touch emerges.”

“I was deeply impressed and moved by the Italian and Neapolitan pieces revisited and arranged by the trio. These interpretations reveal a sincere musical voice rather than the pursuit of fashionable trends.”

“In the compositions of Thelonious Monk, the pianist explores a composer whose music has always been a great source of inspiration. These works have an eternal value that contrasts strongly with much of today’s superficial production.”

“An essential and exceptional creative contribution is provided by the rhythm section: Hämi Hämmerli and Elmar Frey stimulate, integrate and support the pianist’s work with great concentration and a wealth of ideas.”

“I congratulate these three musicians on a CD that charms the listener at every moment with its intensity. Bravo!”
