09. Mai 2008 · John Ruocco · Am I Asking Too Much?
"Il clarinettista americano John Ruocco, da anni residente in Olanda, è già stato protagonista di un'incisione per la Pirouet ... Un trio che preferisce dimensioni cameristiche, in cui la musica sviluppata è ricca di tensioni sotterranee lungo i quasi tre quarti d'ora di percorso." (Musicboom.it by Vittorio Lo Conte) Mehr...

"... With a discography that gets better every year, Copland-approaching sixty, but looking a decade younger-is, with little fuss but relentless persistence, emerging as an artist of significance, with a leading voice and compositional approach. ..." (All About Jazz by John Kelman) Mehr...

"... Da qualche anno il pianista Marc Copland registra in esclusiva per la Pirouet Records, cambiando sideman ad ogni nuovo disco e dimostrando come sia possibile interagire con musicisti di classe internazionale e presentare uno stile singolare come il suo in contesti diversi. ..."

28. April 2008 · Tim Hagans · Alone Together
"... Alone Together belongs to Hagans by virtue of its greater propensity for fiery swingers. ... Alone Together brings excitement back to the mainstream, thanks to its invention, interplay and musicality, as opposed to the much easier-to-find demonstrable chops." (AllAbout Jazz by John Kelman) Mehr...

28. April 2008 · Pirouet Records
"La Pirouet Records di Monaco di Baviera sta conquistando il cuore degli appassionati in patria con una serie di titoli curata nei minimi particolari: uno studio proprio, la precisa direzione musicale del sassofonista Jason Seizer, le belle confezioni in digipack. Alcuni dei musicisti presentati, come i pianisti Bill Carrothers e Marc Copland, hanno trovato qui una seconda patria incidendo alcune delle loro cose più interessanti degli ultimi anni."

26. April 2008 · John Ruocco · Am I Asking Too Much?
"Am I Asking Too Much? is an intimate trio affair with British pianist John Taylor and Italian bassist Riccardo Del Fra. ... It's the very feeling that the whole thing could fall apart at any moment - but doesn't - that makes Am I Asking Too Much? such a captivating listen. With palpable risk-taking permeating the entire set, Ruocco, Taylor and Del Fra demonstrate one needn't be abstruse or oblique to convey the sound of surprise."

23. April 2008 · Jason Seizer · Time Being
"... The album's appeal, then, is its delicate but ever-present interplay, and performances that draw in rather than push out. Time Being is a good entry point to the evolving musical relationship of Seizer and Copland, and an encouragement to check out where it began, with 2004's Fair Way ..."

11. April 2008 · Bill Stewart · Incandescence
"... Sometimes it's the more unusual releases that yield the most pleasant surprises and such is the case with Bill Stewart's Incandescence. ... Stewart has a number of recordings as a leader, but now has a few tricks up his sleeve with the unusual trio setting of piano, Hammond organ, and drums." (All About Jazz by Marc F. Turner) Mehr...

02. April 2008 · Tim Hagans · Alone Together
"Fra avere una grande voce strumentale e l'impiegarla in progetti originali ce ne corre. È il caso di Tim Hagans, trombettista americano ... Siamo lontani dalla jam session, insomma. Si tratta di un mainstream dagli ingredienti noti, ma messi insieme cosí bene che è difficile non riconoscergli quella marcia in più che hanno i grandi." (Musicboom.it by Cosimo Parisi) Mehr...

28. Februar 2008 · Claus Raible · Don't Blame Me
"Der bayrische Pianist Claus Raible bringt Stücke eines Bud Powell, Tadd Dameron und Elmo Hope, sowie Perlen aus dem American Songbook schnörkellos, voller Energie und mit klarem Anschlag effektvoll auf den Punkt." (Fono Forum by Berthold Klostermann) Mehr...

21. Februar 2008 · Jason Seizer · Time Being
"Jason Seizer si è preso un pó di tempo dalla sua ultima produzione, risalente ormai a quattro anni addietro. La sua è una conseguente ricerca del suono e della qualità, della perfezione esecutiva, e quindi è quasi ovvio che le sue incisioni appaiono quasi centellinate, rare ..."

01. Februar 2008 · Claus Raible · Don't Blame Me
"... Claus Raible fürchtet weder Tod, Teufel noch Kritiker und zieht abermals sein Ding durch. Schließlich weiß er genau, dass nur der Bebop mit seinen rasanten harmonischen Wendungen die Spreu vom Weizen zu trennen vermag. Wie der 40-Jährige aber eine neue Tür zu der puristisehen Lehre öffnet, ist das eigentlich Bemerkenswente an Don't Blame Me." (Jazzthing by Reinhard Köchl) Mehr...

31. Januar 2008 · Loren Stillman · Blind Date
"... Blind Date begins promisingly, the title tune showcasing Stillman's balladry and coming across fully as a combination of Lee Konitz and a dry martini; the perfect start for someone who blew the house away-a negative connotation-with his avant-garde playing in the past. ..."

19. Januar 2008 · Marc Copland · Voices - New York Trio Recordings Vol. 2
"... The pianist plumbs the well offered by his instrument, coaxing forth layers upon layers of harmonies, caressing melodies, dissolving into one another like the pastel hues of a watercolor. Marc Copland is a Wild West pioneer quietly redefining jazz piano and the art of the trio on the cutting edge." (All About Jazz by Michel Bailey) Mehr...

07. Januar 2008 · Loren Stillman · Blind Date
"... What a wonderfully gifted reedman we've been blessed to hear in the persona of one Loren Stillman. ... To the point, Stillman is a genuine versatile & creative improvisor!" (ejazznews by George W. Carroll) Mehr...

27. Dezember 2007 · Loren Stillman · Blind Date
"... saxophonist Loren Stillman returns to his earlier quartet format with the marvelous Blind Date. ...The music of Blind Date ranges from the mysterious and faintly dangerous to the overtly, but not obviously, forceful. Thoughtfully presented, with much space between tracks allowing contemplation, this music has the capacity to amaze and seduce the body and the mind. At once immediately comprehensible and yet very deep, Loren Stillman deserves our full attention." (All About Jazz by Budd Koppman) Mehr...

26. Dezember 2007 · Loren Stillman · Blind Date
"... He brings in a minimalist approach, letting the notes fall in random and float in the wide space he provides. He brings in contrast as well, with closely woven textures and a forward emphatic thrust. Both make for logical explorations and help shape a stimulating album ..."

23. Dezember 2007 · Loren Stillman · Blind Date
"... For alto saxophone aficionados, Loren Stillman's Blind Date is an exquisite release. An intrepid artisan with virtuosity, a refined tone and evocative phrasing; it's hard to believe that the London-born musician is only in his twenties ..." (All About Jazz by Marc F. Turner) Mehr...

01. November 2007 · Loren Stillman · Blind Date
"... Using a light and feathery touch, Stillman turns his newest CD into a swirl of colors that wash over each other in various shades of hue. The way he mixes his distinctive sound with his unique compositional feel results in a collection of original jazz that is neither in the traditional straight-ahead mold nor completely out of it, either. ..."

15. Juli 2007 · Marc Copland · Voices - New York Trio Recordings Vol. 2
"Copland is more than the sum of his influences. This is a pianist with a probingly original mind, as shown by his glimmering composition 'River's Run,' full of interesting twists and turns yet flowing as incessantly onward as the jazz piano trio tradition itself-which Marc Copland continues to enrich with each new release. ..."
