MARS WILLIAMS - tenor, alto, soprano, sopranino saxophones (Chicago)
"one of the true saxophone players--someone who takes pleasure in the sheer act of blowing the horn. This tremendous enthusiasm is an essential part of his sound, and it comes through each note every time he plays. Whatever the situation, Mars plays exciting music. In many ways he has succeeded in redefining what versatility means to the modern saxophone player." - John Zorn, USA
WACLAW ZIMPEL - bass & alto clarinet, Bb clarinet, tarogato (Warsaw)
"Zimpel’s name goes straight into the list of European jazzmen that gave new life to clarinet and bass clarinet, continuing Dolphy’s example: Surman, Sclavis, Trovesi, and the like." - Francesco Martinelli, pointofdeparture, USA, 2010
"Polish composer/clarinetist Waclaw Zimpel is one of the most promising musicians from the European continent." - Eyal Hareuveni, allaboutjazz, USA, 2012
HILLIARD GREENE - double bass (NYC)
"His fabulous arco bass mixes lyricism with a burning, literally ferocious desire of opening the listener's mind." - Massimo Ricci, Touching Extremes, Italy, 2007
"I found his composition to be extraordinary in its depth of emotion. Hill’s remarkable virtuosity and passion on his instrument and spiritual awareness was ever present throughout." - Margot Elizabeth Meyers, Jazzimprov, NY, USA, 2006
KLAUS KUGEL - drums (Cologne)
"Drummer Klaus Kugel is one of Central Europe's busiest and most articulate modern jazz drummers ... he treads the boundary between inside and outside playing in a particularly incisive way; always listening and never getting caught up in his own considerable chops." - Dave Wayne, AllAboutJazz, USA, 2013
"These three discs ... show Kugel as a drummer whose nearly boundless energy and imagination cannot be confined by neat categories." - Ed Hazel, Signal To Noise, USA, 2006
