‘This is mood music of an extremely sophisticated sort…an indelible fusion of free jazz, Latin American, modern country, and minimalist procedures, projected via exultant melodic arches and rhythmic twists that impart a compelling sense of direction to the various tracks. Mesmerising stuff.’
Classic fm Magazine

‘… moody avant-fusion. The compositions by Dave Maric, are extremely sophisticated and high effective on their own terms.’
BBC Music Magazine

‘…a curious, intriguing piece of electro-acoustic music. Scraps of minimalist laptop, shrouded in synth textures…Labèque’s crisp piano tone sounds magnificent throughout.’
Time Out

‘The classical pianist turned jazzer has added electronic and African sounds to the mix and created something highly lyrical.’
The Independent

'Superbly Original'
The Independent Information

'breathless sections of wild piano, virtuoso synth bass and hustling drum kit, peppered with spontaneously triggered synth sounds and samples... stylish.'
The Guardian

‘the music, mostly by Maric, is full of interesting textural contrasts and sudden shifts in dynamics or mood. The results veer giddily between elegant classical stylings, outbreaks of nu-jazz...an entertainingly cutting-edge jazz unit.’
The Times

‘The pianist attaches her rippling fluency to drums and electronics. Stimulating.’
The Independent on Sunday

‘The results are wonderful, if amazingly difficult to compartmentalize – a genuinely fresh music. There’s a consistent beauty in the pieces… it is the sincerity of their collaboration that makes the Katia Labeque Band a truly mature new achievement.’
Venue

'Breathtaking from note one...Purely imaginative through and through...Truly a masterpiece in atmospheric, programmatic, and epic sound landscape.'
CD Baby
