Henning Bolte, Jazzism (Netherlands):
SAMUEL ROHRER Range of Regularity (Arjunamusic)




"It should be clear that Rohrer is not just imitating beat-driven forms of pop music or using it to embellish and pimp up jazz formats. He has developed his very own procedures and aesthetics to create a new form of captivating music that is consequently built from the deeper grounds of rhythm and drumming opening up truly new dimensions. The aesthetics is also found in the remarkable visual design of the album covers of his own Arjuna Music label. The music draws in listeners strongly , into an intense sound world all its own. What you hear will be unfamiliar, attractive, comforting, strange, disconcerting. It might remind the listener of the (re-) sounding world of our blood circulation. It is as mysterious and as fascinating as that."






Patrick Sandberg, Orkester Journalen (Sweden):
CHINA MOSES Nightintales (MPS)














Cim Meyer, Jazz Special (Denmark):
FRANK CARLBERG LARGE ENSEMBLE Monk Dreams, Hallucinations And Nightmares (Red Piano)
