Review by journalist Bert Jansma

“The first word that came to mind when hearing the debut CD of the Maurits Roes trio was: poetry. Music and notes like the words of a poet searching for what is unnameable and sometimes touching it. From the haunting melancholy of a Hungarian folksong to the pointillistic beginnings of ‘Puppets’, eventually getting into a jazzdrive. A dreamy romantic feel as one of the Essential Elements in their musical journey.”
