PRESS

"The quartet CD is shaped by thorough and intricate compositions, a sophisticated and thoughtful music without airs that grows with every listening. Flick has written all the music, besides two songs that pianist Andreas Schmidt has written. Two songs are also arrangements of classical pieces, Bach and Bartók. (...) An interesting musician that we can expect more from in the future.“
Roger Bergner, OrkesterJournalen 4/19

"If the color studies referenced by Birgitta Flick on her third quartet album were to be conceptualized, they would make up a mottled, impressionist canvas. The brush strokes - or instrumental detail - fade into one another with infinitive intricacy and subtly emotive touches."
Ammar Kalia, Downbeat, 2/2018

"The quartet of tenor saxophonist Birgitta Flick with Andreas Schmidt (piano), James Banner (bass) and drummer Max Andrzejewksi presents a really colorful, varied and profoundly sophisticated album (…). The intention to improvise is consistently perceptable and it’s obvious that this group has been together for a long time and can interact perfectly.“
Teddy Doering, Jazzpodium 12/2018-1/2019

“Everything comes out of the moment, is developed and constructed further by the four musicians. The quartet around Birgitta Flick has a feeling for the right timing and you can perceive it in the remarkable interplay of the musicians.
This album is an impressive performance of their art.“
Anja Klein, Melodiva 1/2019

"Progressive ears know she's a name they can trust no matter where the path leads."
Midwest Record, 10/2018
