"The Jazz Station Big Band proves to be one of the most promising ensembles in Europe. The writing is ingenious and ambitious and the arrangements are deep and meaningful. Their astute use of odd time signatures, metric modulations and free improvisation keeps the listener engaged and interested but there's also great lyricism, simplicity and beauty in their work. Definitely a high quality release from an ensemble that has unlimited potential"
Antonio Sanchez
"The big band, the favoured format of the 30s, has certainly continued to make waves in the various jazz trends that favour smaller groups. What’s more, it has continued to play a role in the evolution of jazz composition through increasingly daring sound experiments. This recording provides new proof of this! Beautiful compositions, efficient- ly arranged, showcase the new generation of inspired and inspiring soloists, under the direction of the project’s initiator Michel Paré. Clearly, despite what some think, the big band has lost none of its nobility!"
