Eine international großartige Jazzband in Quartettformation: mit dem amerikanischen Posaunisten Ray Anderson (fünfmaliger Gewinner des Downbeat Poll), mit dem Europäischen Jazzaward-Gewinner und der Schlagzeuglegende Han Bennink und dem Boy Edgar Prize-Gewinner Paul Van Kemenade als Altsaxophonist. Ergänzt und vervollständigt wird das Spitzenquartett mit Ernst Glerum am Bass.

"This quartet has a definite group personality, the parts adding up to make the whole. Eachtrack, while different its particulars, works within the group’s overall sound, arguable anchored in Bennink’s unique drumming. Checking Outis, simply put, great jazz which will get you smiling while your body grooves."

All About Jazz (US), Juli 2016

"Alto saxophonist Paul van Kemenade’s  good-humoured jazzbandsounded, on its vivacious Vortex visit, like a contemporary jazz band to its fingertips. Some of it suggested what a Charles Mingus group might have become, but there was nothing retro about this show. The great Dutch drummer Han Bennink smiling ecstatically, and sustaining a more emphatically propulsive pulse with the brushes than most drummers manage with sticks.The leader's bop-rooted alto lines and Anderson's remarkable repertoire of hard-blown accents, rich long sounds, swarming-bee noises and slithery elisions developing it over Glerum's booming bass-walk. Van Kemenade's quiveringly tender tone and delicately inviting phrasing led his own Close Enough, before an effusively Cuban groove closed the set. A similarly impish second half included a long-lined Anderson theme reminiscent of the cool-bop guru Lennie Tristano, more languorously Mingus-like hip swing and bursts of ensemble clamour as convivial as an old New Orleans band."
