Alvin Curran: Canti Illuminati
"These are ideas, not jolly tunes, and the listener must realize that in order to retain his or her sanity, let alone enjoy the music." (anonymousvalley/rateyourmusic.com) "Curran’s eclecticism is not willful" (Tim Page) "dazu befähigt, die ganze Welt mit meinen Fingerkuppen zu spielen, wieder neue Welten zu schaffen und zu gestalten von Augenblick zu Augenblick, Tag für Tag, von Gelegenheit zu Gelegenheit, bei jeder Performance, bei jedem Akt der Vorsehung, jedes Mal, wenn man die Erde pflügt und umdreht." (A.C.)

Dave Douglas: Dance in thy Soul
"At a young age I had terrible technical skills on the trumpet" (D.D.) "Fotos des Nachthimmels. Es sind auch Bildeer der Musik von Dave Douglas." (Konrad Heidkamp) "sucht er zwischen Melancholie und Meditation unbeschwert nach neuem Glück" (lafilature.org)

Sun City Girls: Death in Yellowknife
"I accidentally came across while mucking about their back catalog." (MrModular on YouTube)
"aus dem Lumpensack"  (Pinky Rose)  "Sun City Girls' members are all about desert-infused"  weirdness (NPR.org)

Amy Denio: Dishwasher
"Why do I hear this every night...what is happening to me?" (Sofia Valverde on YouTube)  "Aufregend, schräg, langweilig, umwerfend" (Konrad Heidkamp) "music that allows us to live in the world, the whole world" (John ÄCage)

John Coltrane: Equinox
"Equinox,” where McCoy Tyner (who, by the gracious hands of those same breath-giving gods, is still with us, and still playing!!) lays down perhaps thee most spare and lovey piano solos ever put to tape, nor to ears nor time fore or since." (CVH/riotmaterial.com)  "still unsatified with its own playing" (Ralph J. Gleason/Liner Notes) "wie erschütternde Schreie" ("Die Zeit")

Aki Takase: Pork Pie Hat
"von einem der Obermachos des Jazz, dem Kontrabassisten Charles Mingus" (rondomagazin.de) "Saxophonist Silke Eberhard and pianist Aki Takase are prime examples of the latter, as they seem determined to help feminize the drunk-on-testosterone history of jazz." (Downbeat) "Du meine Güte! Alles so sauber! Jazz ist schmutzig."  (A.T.)

Ethiopien Musicians: Heywèté
"Der Groove ist schrecklich. Schrecklich im Sinne von großartig. Wir hatten so etwas noch nie zuvor gehört.“ (Francis Falceto/docfest-muenchen.de) "Blütezeit kaum vorbereiteter und nie fortgesponnener Musik" (Roger Willemsen) "and it all just died down" (Amha Eshèté)

Helen Merrill: Largo
„Der Tod ‚Brownies‘ war der größte Schock, den die Jazzgemeinde seit dem Tod Charlie ›Bird‹ Parkers ein Jahr zuvor erlebt hatte, er wurde sogar als noch sinnloser, tragischer, unverschuldeter empfunden." (Marcus A. Woelfle/wikiwand.com) "Tom Harrell, jener in sich versunkene "Bruder" Chet Bakers, dessen Flügelhorn klingt, als gehe er über dünnes Eis, als könne er jederzeit einbrechen. Es trägt." (Konrad Heidkamp) "A final salute to a fallen brother." (Helen Merrill/booklet)

The Vandermark 5: Late Night waiting around
"Passion and subtlety have rarely found so perfect a union." (Aaj Staff/allaboutjazz.com) "kaum ein Lächeln hebt ihre Lippen" (Ulrich Stock) "it's a tough time to be a musician" (Ken Vandermark, 23.3.20 auf Facebook)

Trio Globo: Our Time together
“It’s very personal; it’s about reaching down into your souls" (Eugene Friesen) "takes a romantic and introspective turn here" (booklet) "many of the tunes acquired a schmaltzy pan-ethnic gloss." (Neil Tesser/Chicago Reader)

Jane Ira Bloom: The sweetest Sounds
"But this is not cacophony, if you're worried." (E.C Goodstein/amazon.co.uk) "verbindet; subtile Lyrik und gestische Wucht" (Peter Niklas Wilson) "The sweetest sounds I'll ever hear are still inside my head./ The kindest words I'll ever know are waiting to be said" (lyrics/Rodger's Original)
