( PATCHWORK )

MODERN JAZZ

" ... THE COMPOSITIONS ARE ALL ORIGINALS WRITTEN BY THE BANDLEADER - AND ESPECIALLY, WHEN INTENSE COLOURS COME INTO PLAY, THE QUINTET SOUNDS VERY PERSUASIVE. THEIR OVERFLOWING STYLE SOMETIMES IS EVOCATIVE OF KEITH JARRETT'S EUROPEAN QUARTET WITH JAN GABAREK, YET WITHOUT OPENING HIS VERY ECSTASY."

JAZZTHETIK

" ... EVENTUALLY, WE HEAR A GLIMPSE OF EXPERIMENTAL VOCAL ARTISTICS. ALL IN ALL, THERE'S A FRESH BREEZE BLOWING THROUGH THE WORK OF THIS QUINTET. THE BANDLEADERS COMPOSITIONS, WHICH ARE A COMBINATION OF IMPROVISED MUSIC (REFLECTING THE HISTORY OF JAZZ) AND VERY SENSITIVELY THROUGH-COMPOSED MOMENTS, GIVE THE QUINTET A VERY UNIQUE AND COHERENT SOUND."

RHEINISCHER MERKUR

In 2007, the remarkable composer Caroline Thon finally caught the attention of the ‘federal state council of music’, which then featured her band PATCHWORK in the course of the ‘Composers in Nordrhein-Westfalen’ series.
These concerts will celebrate the band's second CD:
Inner Voice - which will be released in October 2008 (on the JazzHausMusik-Label).
