"..A virtually unbroken torrent of in-your-face virtuosity, leavened with a delicious sense of humour and a daring eclecticism".."Judging by this concert you can see why these three are gaining a reputation as one of the hottest properties in the jazz world today."
- The Dominion, Wellington, New Zealand

"Iiro Rantala is a pianistic sensation who makes the strongest case I know to believe in reincarnation because his pianistic technique and musical sensitivity speak of depths which appear impossible to have been achieved in this lifetime alone...."
- Gil Goldstein, pianist/ arranger, New York.
