Congratulations:
"The trio handles the covers with the same aplomb, easily molding them
into their style. The piano intro used for Coltrane’s “Giant Steps” is
unrecognizable at first, until Ikonen slips in hints and then gives away the
plot when the rhythm section enters. (...) Bright is not just a good Nordic jazz
record, it’s world-class good." Somethingelsereviews.com
