"...a gorgeous unaccompanied statement by Råberg. The three weave together some fascinating textures.."
*** 1/2 Philip Booth, Down Beat Magazine

" This is without doubt a top-shelf jazz trio. Råberg's writing has a rich emotional core.."
David Greenberger, Signal To Noise Magazine

"A fascinating melange of Scandinavian folk melody and modern jazz.
The bass solo that opens the program draws on a mood of dark Scandinavian mystery.
Highly recommended."
Rick Anderson, All Music Guide (US)

"Raberg's highly original aesthetic embraces Scandinavian folk music , unconventional rhythms and free improvisation with equal success. ...this remarkable trio session by virtuoso bassist Råberg is fresh and
consistently challenging."
