“Jønssons loose compositions revolve around a strong melodic core, sometimes even a haunting theme, that manages to grow on the listener with every new listening.”
– Eyal Hareuveni, salt peanuts (Norway) – 2016
“…an intimate portrait of Danish guitarist/composer Alex Jonsson and his trio” (3,5 out of 4 stars)
– Mark Sullivan, All About Jazz (USA) – 2016
“There is something deeply satisfying about witnessing an audience’s immersive expression when totally engaged with the music in a small space, if done well. I can’t think of a better recent musical and visual demonstration of this than the latest offering from Alex Jønsson.”
– Nigel J. Farmer, Jazz in Europe – 2016
“A great guitar album for calm wintery weekend afternoons, when the snow is slowly falling outside and it’s warm inside.”
– Pasi Virtanen, Jazzpossu (Finland) – 2016
“Stripped-down, close as a breath and philosophical, the music spreads out into my own living room.”
– Lena Torquato Lidén, Tidningen Kulturen (Sweden) – 2017
