Anne Mette Iversen
Press Reviews
“Anne Mette Iversen brings instrumental dexterity as well as sharp compositional and band-leading skills with her."
– The New Yorker
“Thoroughly compelling and wholly rewarding material.“
– Yoshi Kato, DownBeat Magazine
“…more playful and less controlled than any of her previous ensembles, reveling in the hopscotch jousts and tonal contrasts between alto
saxophonist Silke Eberhard and Geoffroy De Masure on tenor and bass trombones. The spongy fills from drummer Roland Schneider and
Iversen’s steady, stentorian basslines provide the right amount of caulk and spacing.”
– Britt Robson, JazzTimes
"The music is virtuosic and engaging, demanding attention from the listener. Especially exciting are the musical dialogues between the
trombone and the alto saxophone; as they engage in discussion, 'fights' and then come together again. Also the solos from all the musicians
are from the top shelf."
– ****** stars (=phenomenal) - HuGe, Er-em-online.de (D)
”We are far away from nostalgia; everything is unconditionally here and now. The inspiring compositions act as springboard for the
comprehensive and surprising improvisations of the musicians.”
– ***** stars (5/6) - Kjeld Frandsen, Berlingske (DK)
