PILGRIMAGE VOL. II  |  MAZAM (2025)

“It owes a lot to some of the epoch-defining fusion records, without feeling like a homage. It is more like a lost gem; If this were a recently uncovered ECM record from 1976, we would have been hearing all about it. As it is, we should be hearing all about it, because it is great.…The world may feel dystopian sometimes, but this record is full of warmth and hope.” by Andrew Hunter @ All About Jazz (USA)

“Through this record, the band listen and respond to each other with remarkable insight.”
“The balance of freedom and structure is commendable.”
Another excellent review on the prestigious All About Jazz (USA). Read it!
