Reviews

“The team intertwines on a hip ‘What Is This Thing Called Love’ while going impressionistic on a liquid ‘Lover Man’…. the piano and bass sigh and weave with thoughtful elegance.”
Jazz Weekly - George W. Harris / 9 January 2017

“One is quickly captivated by their music which gives the sense of a kind of blossoming friendliness and freshness, and a sense of freedom and serenity, unwaveringly held together.”
Classica - Jean-Pierre Jackson / February 2016

“… the album became exactly what was to be expected: refined chamber music with remarkably beautifully formulated notes… It’s a pleasure to listen to the mature style of Gary Peacock… shaped by power and refinement, a deep musicality…”
Jazz Podium - Volker Doberstein / March 2016

“… the album ‘53rd Street’ is an anthology of traditional melodies, standards or children’s songs, chosen to be reinvented in the here and now of the meeting – not to mention the sometimes unexpected and tasty connections between these songs (Jingle Bells – A Foggy Day). The taste for subtle reharmonisations of Kaddouch are generously expressed here…”
Jazz Magazine - Vincent Cotro / June 2016

“Kaddouch’s style is lush and lyrical, utilizing slightly unusual chords and harmonic modulations to revitalize standbys like ‘A Foggy Day’, ‘Lover Man’ and even ‘Jingle Bells’. His radical reharmonization of the latter, coupled with the extreme independence of his left hand, show off his individuality. Peacock, an almost subliminal presence, anchors the harmonies and pulse against the pianist’s constant ebbs, flows and upwellings…”
