"This ingenuity and boldness is also manifested in the versatility that characterizes Erik's profile, where all musical styles are represented in Erik's glowing performance - all the way from Satchmo's iconic trumpet, via bebop to the modern trumpet idioms of today."
Jazz Club Fasching Society

"It is melodic big band jazz, performed with warmth and elegance. It swings without getting hasty. Especially impressive is Erik Tengholm's almost 20 minute long Africa Suite. The suite is strikingly well cohesive, filled with nuances and melodic ideas. On top of that is fine ensemble playing and nice solistic performances." - Orkesterjournalen/JAZZ
"You can hear in every note that it comes from the heart and that the musicians are passionate about the music. So get it from Tengtones Records if you like nice fiery jazz. The CD grabbed me because the music is full of intensiveness and power." - Jazzreporter.com, Germany
