“With influences from hip-hop, rock, jazz and classical, and with an exquisite selection of young musicians, Brainteaser has become an album that holds great promise.”
Jury Report Deutscher Jazzpreis 2022
“In Amsterdam, a new generation has emerged full of joy of playing, experimentation and edginess. This is about a jazz orchestra that combines an unconventional set of instruments with samples. An energetic gesamtkunstwerk in which jazz develops but an individual sound can also be heard.“
