Exceptional camaraderie and engaging performances make Alon Nechushtan's Words Beyond a trio recording worthy of the most discerning listener. ” John Vincent Barron - Jazz Review

This is a superb, often hard-swinging and inventive piano trio with its own distinctive sound. The music is tight, spirited and filled with life, a more perfect piano Trio would be hard to imagine”Bruce Gallanter, DownTown Music Gallery

Alon Nechushtan's Words Beyond is worlds beyond where most jazz musicians are willing and able to travel, making this album a worthwhile listening journey. Dan Bilawsky- All About Jazz New York
