Album Notes

"Klaus Suonsaari has put together a collection of compositions and improvisations that has the beautiful openness and creative spirit that is the essence of jazz music. The quartet's free-flowing explorations are a wonderous "Portrait In Sound" indeed. I loved it!"

- Joe Lovano
Saxophonist/Blue Note Recording Artist


At a time when jazz lurches back to embrace more populist leanings, Klaus Suonsaari is headed in the other direction.
Along with my man Scott Robinson, Klaus is advancing a
concept I find very enjoyable to listen to. This band lives up
to the ideal of jazz as a thinking man's music. Bravo.

- Branford Marsalis
Saxophonist/Marsalis Music Recording Artist


"These guys really sound great. I have known them for over twenty years and they are still going at it. Strong, powerful, subtle - everything you need yo have a great group sound. Go for it!"

- George Garzone
Saxophonist/NYC Recording Artist
