"Seldom has a trio been heard to play in such a relaxed and carefree manner as tré from Zurich." Jazzzeit
"...humorous, intelligent, edgy, gutsy, lithe, subversive, ironic and concentrated, maybe even seminal." Tobias Böcker, Jazzpodium
"Their zealous take-up of inspiration from
all styles of music emboldens their high-risk
music-making (...). Their music also has a humorous side,
not the thigh-slapping variety but the mischievous
kind of Swiss humour." Jazzthing
"Their music is enormous fun. (...) The spectacular hides the sophisticated, the rough-andready the refined, the acting-up the tonally subtle." Tages-Anzeiger
"...is so self-confident that they achieve a maximum of effect with minimum forces. Their pieces are reminiscent on the one hand of the vigour of a New Orleans wind band and on the other of the anarchic force of Balkan bands, while at the same time bearing the precision of a classical wind ensemble." NZZ
"Pure jazz - not overtaut yet edgy with laid-back improvisations and artfully spun. (...) This trio - gloriously disarrayed and yet with ever-present easygoing precision - is always on equal terms, democratic to the core. (...)" Nürnberger Nachrichten
"(tré) ...combine slapstick humour, clever arrangements and a generous helping of ' power'. This is convincing 'across-the-board' music, sappy and brittle in equal measure; it really gets the neural synapses firing." Aargauer Zeitung
"...tré are pure fascination, at times loud and shrill, at others quietly insistent. ..."
Peewee Windmüller, JAZZ'N'MORE
