"Altogether, the sound is definitely jazz but
distinctively Argentinean"
"Argentine composer Pablo Ablanedo makes a disarmingly
gentle but firm debut notable more for his ascetic,
introspective writing than his low-profile piano. This
band plays the through-composed and chamber-like
pieces understatedly rather than in-your-face, slowly
unfolding a mature, inclusive world vision."
(4 Stars) Fred Bouchard, DownBeat Magazine
"Essentially, Ablanedo possesses all of the goods
necessary to become a major force in modern jazz.
Recommended." Glen Astarita, All About Jazz
