"...Pianist Michel Wintsch, who himself traffics in explicitly European classical motifs a great deal in his playing, composed eight of these twelve tracks. Here he has assembled an unusual eleven-piece ensemble, consisting of a healthy number of string players, to play them. While most of the tracks have an energy and forward motion that comes from jazz, and many feature quite fascinating improvisations, the texture of this music is classical. …Wintsch, whose piano playing never ceases to amaze. If you haven't heard him, here him now." ALL ABOUT JAZZ By Robert Spencer
