I have the feeling that people today are missing a kind of organic musical culture based on a clear overview of a system, typical for example of traditional Indian music or the Transylvanian music of our ancestors. Yet it would seem that at present we are unable to create a new musical system at this level, so we try, piecemeal fashion, to tack together the systems we consider important. (Dresch)

Press Quotes
This sophisticated saxophonist has a very intelligent way to celebrate a fully assimilated jazz grammar at every moment, while transforming it into a tool (kind of a musical esperanto) of full and fleshy sonority, notably on soprano, with a smooth and constantly melodic phrasing which, due to its syncretic nature, is capable of restoring form and vitality to the folklore of central Europe. The result, lyrical and of a great refinement of writing, is a small marvel of sensibility.
—Stéphane Ollivier, Jazzman, June 2007
