Das deutsche “hifi & records” Magazin ist voll des Lobes über “Times of Change Vol.1” der JBBG – Smål – Gran Riserva und umschreibt die Musik des “vitalen Quintetts” in seiner #1 2021 Ausgabe als “subtil pochender Jazz gegen wankelmütigen Trübsinn”
Vielen Dank Heinz-Dieter Grönefeld!
“Times of Change Vol.1″ excels through a coherent fusion of pop, world, minimal and jazz, for which it is difficult to find comparisons.” German critic Uli Steinmetzger reviews “Times of Change Vol.1” in the latest edition of German woodwind & brass magazine SONIC and is enthusiastic about it: “… Here nothing is presented diligently, but is harvested confidently without having to pose too much. There aren’t any brain teasers and everything flows into uninhibited joy of playing
Thank you Uli Steinmetzger!
