I really like the way Ms. Muttenthaler continually moves away from the trite and overdone aspects of mainstream music. This is not so much a blowing session (theme, solos, and out) as much as it is a vehicle for her fine melodies. The section work keeps the songs in focus and sets up the mostly short but usually substantial solos. In a pleasing way, it reminds this listener of the »cinematic« music bassist Charlie Haden is creating with his quartet (Ernie Watts, Lawrence Marable, and Alan Broadbent.) Some listeners might wish that soloists stretch out a bit more. All in all, a strong introduction to the appealing music of Adriane Muttenthaler.

And now there is proof that Vienna is able to create important personalities in contemporary music and jazz.

So it is first of all the specific and personal sound world of Adriane Muttenthaler that we can meet and explore – a colourful world full of nuances, changes and surprises.

More woman to Jazz! Especially if the result is like this!
Wolfgang Puschnig

The composer and interpreter Adriane Muttenthaler averts all paraphernalia and pleads for the essential. Clarity and substance mean more to her than bravery. That’s why she rejects the swinging elegance and the superficial »groove« of mainstream jazz and rather presents herself unpretentiously.

What distinguishes Adriane Muttenthaler’s sextet is the perpetual presence of a lyrik mood even in intensively grooving passages. Only for a short period the drums accentuate the play, after some light-footed unisono-passages Muttenthaler gives free way to the three saxophones and confines herself to a few chords. Ever now and then a fine, a little melancholic easy-listening component is audible (e.g. »Holiday«), which I associate with French films, giving the music additional culinary attraction.
