<p><span>“Pianist Morten Schantz has been a prominent and pioneering figure on first the Danish, then international jazz and fusion scene for more than a decade.” <strong>THE ARTS DESK (UK)</strong></span></p>
<p><span>“Morten Schantz is European jazz name we’re going to get used to hearing.” <strong>THE GUARDIAN (UK)</strong></span></p>
<p><span>“Schantz’s layers of pianos and synths are an atmospheric sounding board for a tight, interactive trio completed by Marius Neset’s virtuosic sax and the pounding thump of Anton Eger’s drums. Rigorous structures focus mood while leaving ample room for the musicians to stretch out.” <strong>THE FINANCIAL TIMES (UK)</strong></span></p>
<p><span>“Godspeed unceasingly rewards repeated plays and easily qualifies as one of the most exciting and engaging recordings for a long time. Schantz has surely now found his true métier” <strong>ALL ABOUT JAZZ (UK)</strong></span></p>
<p><span>“The music is full of life and it’s really vibrant & bold…This album is a great representation of some of the most vital music bursting onto the European scene.” <strong>Claire Martin, BBC RADIO 3</strong></span></p>
<p><span>“A word of warning. Before playing Morten Schantz’s Godspeed please fasten your safety-belt. You are about to be catapulted into the power-packed, high-energy risk-taking territory where big beasts like Chick Corea’s Return To Forever, The Mahavishnu Orchestra and Weather report once roamed.” <strong>JAZZWISE MAGAZINE (UK)</strong></span></p>
<p><span>“…offers an exhilarating listening experience. It can also be highly recommend for Weather Report fans looking for new music.” <strong>JAZZ POSSU (FI)</strong></span></p>
<p><span>“…tough and virtuosity and rhythmic, melodically and harmonically exciting from start to finish… a small group that in its best moments is able to take modern fusion music a step further.” <strong>TOR De JAZZ/NETTAVISION (NO)</strong></span></p>
<p><span>“This album under Schantz’s own name reflects the energy of their previous band, JazzKamikaze, but combines more ambitious arrangements, richly coloured by Schantz’s fearsome arsenal of synths and keyboards, with a gleefully unfettered muscularity that pervades much of the recording.” <strong>THE SCOTSMAN (UK)</strong></span></p>
<p><span>“Sometimes the CD sounds like Weather Report on Speed. Schantz and his colleagues …shine with frenetic, closely interlinked grooves… power jazz.” <strong>CONCERTO MAGAZINE (AUS)</strong></span></p>
<p><span>“On Jazz Now I will demonstrate to the public how Weather Report would sound in 2017 — with Morton’s new CD” <strong>HR2 KULTUR </strong></span><strong>(DE)</strong><strong></strong><em></em></p>
