Says the press: - 'Kamil Erdem with integral teamwork and virtuos solos. An impressive performance ... .' (Volkskrant dec. 2007)
- Bit by bit this piece of work is growing into a rock of intruiging actual music. Who knows maybe even 'the' jazz of the twentyfirst century. A
strong group.' (Mazzmuzika, apr. 2009)
- In the title piece Turkisch melismatisms are melting together with jazzy exploration impulse into a wonderfull Tango. Highlight is Ol Bosperus of Lotz with wringing glissandi out of the ud over a sultry groove. (Volkskrant, feb. 2009)
