Achim Tang - Tørn
Joe Hertenstein - Drums, Philip Zoubek - Piano

"Jawohl, dieses Album enthält mehr oder minder FreeJazz - aber so gut hat FreeJazz selten geklungen. (... ) Die Musiker sind auf der Höhe ihrer Zeit.
Achim Tang ist Improviser in Residence in Moers 2011. In dieser Eigenschaft steht ihm ein Platz im Hauptprogramm des Festivals zu - mit Tørn wäre dieser glänzend besetzt. “ - Michael Ruesenberg, WDR, 3/2011

"The result is incredibly crisp and emotional. It hurts and it comforts. Three incredible players, technically masterful, musically inventive and with deep emotional powers. "

Joe Hertenstein's HNH
feat. Pascal Niggenkemper & Thomas Heberer

"This is Hertenstein's debut as a leader, and what his trio brings here is a pure delight, finding an interesting niche of incredibly rhythmic free improvisation: the music swings from beginning to end, but then with the improvisational and sonic freedom of modern music, never losing the implicit pulse and forward drive that underpins every note they play. The trio leads us through abstract environments but the blues is never far away. "

Bruce Lee Gallanter, Downtown Music Gallery, NY:
"Drummer, Joe Hertenstein produced, wrote the liner notes & half of the songs and led this session. Even at just 46 minutes, this disc is completely successful, ultimately crafty and often surprsing in direction throughout. "
