My most impressive discovery in Latvian jazz in the past years!
Edgars Raginskis, Latvian Radio 3 on “ABRA”
This certainly is one of the most powerful contemporary jazz albums the Latvian jazz scene has to offer.
Toms Lipskis, JazzIn Journal on “Locomotion!”
[..] saturated, multi-layered contemporary jazz looking into the spiritual and jazz-rock directions [..] music that flows through consciousness letting one get carried away [..] a conceptual work that attests to Rudzinskis’ new musical horizons.
Kaspars Zavileiskis, Music Sun, on “ABYSS”
Here’s everything one could wish for – excellent technical mastery, original ideas, knowledge of the tradition and a fresh, contemporary approach, quality, freedom, inspiration. Highly complex yet a joy to listen.
Ilze Medne, Music Sun, Latvian Radio on “ABRA”
Superior quality. [..] virtuoso mastery with purpose.
Katri Kallionpää, Helsingin Sanomat on live show
A talent in finding the unbeaten path where tradition meets extremely intellectual, free, complicated and interesting musicianship.
Andris Dzenītis, int. acclaimed composer on “Locomotion”
A futuristic playground for contemporary jazz big band, there’s a clear sense of joy, of adventure, of excitement…
Mike Gates, UKVIBE on “Space Big Band” (2022)
