A new release by the Italian Quartet Roots Magic is always welcome. Their contemporary and improvisatory approach to old blues tunes and the way they always put their own touch on the music of avant-garde jazz composers is kind of unique on the European scene.

Andrew D’Angelo’s DNA Orchestra, Barrage & Luis Nubiola

The size of a group means nothing. There's as much fantastic music created by a trio as there is by a big band.
