Reviews:

Balthaus shows with his sextet that creativity inside the borders of contemporary mainstream can be as fruitful as searching for new forms.
Leidsche dagblad

With fine compositions and an energetic drive the Dirk Balthaus sextet stimulates the audience.
Oldenburger Volkszeitung

While playing the 9 titels they travel from Neobop with fast tunes and ballades to the world of funk-inspired contemporary Jazz... The solos are beautiful… Balthaus is an experienced accompanist and a brilliant soloist.
Jazzpodium

Loose and relaxed: The Dirk Balthaus 6-tet presents itself as a band who chooses it's material from the entire jazzhistory.
