"All in all, this is the most affecting affecting solo piano album I’ve heard since Keith Jarrett’s much-loved The Melody at Night, with You more than 20 years ago."
The Blue Moment - Richard Williams
"…the space between notes suggests a celestial jukebox running down, easing into the entropy of the Universe."
JazzTimes Editor’s Pick - Andrew Hamlin
"…un discours toujours tenu et composé, mettant magistralement en scène la dynamique du vide pour mieux offrir au silence toute son éloquence."
Jazz Magazine CHOC - Stéphane Olivier
"...the notes hanging individually in the air as though being held up to the light... It's so slow and patient, it becomes an observation of passing time."
The Wire 448, June 2021
"It is humbling to listen and feel the music's presence towards satori surrounded by a vast, enveloping feeling of serenity. Let it be."
Marlbank - Stephan Graham *****
"Diciamo subito che la musica sfiora il capolavoro, ed è commovente che tanta inventiva coniugata con tanta lucidità rappresenti il lascito ultimo di un artista certo sempre stimolante e geniale, ma non sempre altrettanto coerente e misurato…"
All About Jazz - Neri Pollastri *****
"In the quietude of this music there is a rapt intensity. Its
many silences are the most intense moments of all."
Thomas Conrad - The New York City Jazz Record
Best of 2021 "Unearthed Gems"
