“I loved the hypnotic micro-grooves
here, the ensemble playing was
excelent
and because of that, each member
was able to stretch out. Great
musicianship in
evidence here.”

Catherine Tackley

“Mind Trip is a finely crafted piece of
music and it is well-executed.
Matic Štemberger has a deft touch and because
of this, the music breathes. I liked the
composition for many reasons but especially because
it stakes a claim for where straight-ahead jazz is at
in 2023. It is unusual to see such a masterly performance
from such a young artist. The band was there too,
a trio of equals there to serve the music.”

John Fenton

“The trio has precisely defined its creative
terrain, allowing for ample room for
expression that is unified into a cohesive whole.
It incorporates unforeseeable aspects of
exploration and individualistic expression
into each composition, culminating in a polished
language sophisticated enough to elicit
anticipation and the corresponding promise
in the audience.”

Nina Novak
