BBC - Jazz Review - Susanne Abbuehl, April (#)
„Backed by piano, clarinet and drums, the closest reference is probably Jimmy Guiffre's early 60s trio recordings (in themselves a formative influence in shaping the ECM aesthetic), and Abbuehl's adaptions of Carla Bley 's spare, angular ballads 'Ida Lupino' and 'Closer' make the connection explicit. 'Ida Lupino' is especially lovely; Abbuehl's impressionistic wordplay meshes with Bley's lucid, simple melody perfectly, giving way to a limpid, expressive solo from pianist Wolfert Breorode. Abbuehl's own writing is equally strong; the opening "Yes is a Pleasant Country" (a settting of e.e.cummings) is simply gorgeous; nothing extraneous, every note placed with unforced precision over plangent piano chording.“

The result is a superb cup of genuine espresso.“
