Press
“Drummer Julian Sartorius has a background in improvised music. With pointed patterns, brushes, mallets and clanging metal he makes even straight beats groove odd.”
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
„Sartorius combines Mitch Mitchell/Jaki Liebezeit chops.“
The Wire, Juni 2010
„Julian Sartorius, drummer: He is a virtuoso. He uses all pitches, he creates harmonies, he invents striking tools and sounding boxes. He is incredibly agile and versatile, he never plays a song twice exactly the same way.“
Interview with Sophie Hunger, Voltaire
„Drummer Julian Sartorius is an indespensible component of the disc’s success. He lays down hypnogrooves and rock-solid beats that propel the music forward while also keeping things steady, providing a firm foundation over which the saxophonists emote.“
Cadence Jazzmagazine (NY/USA)
“A drummer who can open full throttle, but never selfishly plays himself into the foreground.”
