New York Times: ‘’Alain Trudel, on Naxos, turns that « Why » into the statement of a frightened cartoon’’
***** La presse: La qualité exceptionnelle des interprètes et des arrangements, doublée d’un style raffiné, non dépourvu d’humour, font de ce disque l’accompagnement parfait pour ces dernières belles soirées d’été.
Le devoir: La musique est toujours plus forte que tous les discours théoriques qu’on porte sur elle.
Whole note: The quality of the writing and performance offers such a full sound that I kept having to remind myself there are only seven performers involved…Trudel’s trombone artistry alone is worth the price of admission.
