Music of subversive beauty. JAZZ NOTES (F)

Nickendes Perlgras is one of the the most exciting sounds presently coming out of Berlin. KINDA MUZIK (NL)

A splendid and powerful Trio. BLOW UP (I)

The music is very joyful, full of wit and soul,.. a very complete and human music. VITAL WEEKLY (NL)

This melica nutans is addictive, once digested. TAZ (D)

A refreshingly impertinent product with depth! CONCERTO (A)

Powerful music, dynamic music, a sound verging on hard, fat drums, precise timing, very clear structured forms, improvisations that mesh perfectly in the ensemble sound… in any case it is a music firmly rooted in its time. JAZZMAN (F)

Nickendes Perlgras makes music that is free to roam, essentially melodic, accessible, intelligent, and, above all, deeply human. Recommended. EXCLAIM MAGAZINE (CAN)

Pieces full of complex developments and grotesque poetry…the Berlin musicians maintain their orientation in their aural garden with the sovereignty of people who wander in their own dreams… JAZZPODIUM (D)

A refreshing music. IMPROJAZZ (F)
