George Gräwe Quintett - New Movements

"An agile and tremendously gifted improviser, Gräwe has one of the most advanced harmonic sensibilities in contemporary jazz; he's a serious student of Schoenberg but also has some of the wavelike linearity of Lennie Tristano, filtered through the more energetic intensity of '60s free music." - Rough Guide to Jazz

"The Georg Gräwe quintet’s free music sounds inspired by the American free movement of the mid-sixties, very assertive, with its raw energy. There is much fine blowing." -Cadence

"The engine of the ensemble is Gräwe, whose springy, lively piano playing pricks up the ears." - Fono Forum
