WHAT THE CRITICS HAVE SAID ABOUT THIER ALBUM:
“[Meadow] has produced one of 2011’s likely jazz triumphs of the year…worthy of ECM label’s greatest moments”. GUARDIAN **** (UK)
“This is an album of sublime creativity that will stand the test of time… they have created a classic”. JAZZWISE MAGAZINE (UK)
“Imagine the sound of saxophonist Wayne Shorter if he’d worked on a north-Euro ECM Records project, perhaps with the label’s legendarily restrained house-drummer Jon Christensen – then add one of Europe’s most sensitive and resourceful pianists, and you have something like this remarkable trio”. GUARDIAN ****
Meadow is three superb musicians… an assertively interactive group. The trio is in arresting form throughout”. IRISH TIMES *****
“An early contender for new trio of the year…Quite simply one of the most accomplished recordings by the Edition label thus far”. UK VIBE ****

“Meadow deliver a classic in conception and in execution” FOCUS/ LE VIF (Belgium)

“A blissful combination that brings together three of the most creative musicians in European jazz”. THE LIST (UK)
