Klaus Kugel – drumsMulti-reedist Ken Vandermark has been investigating cutting-edge improvisational strategies within a vast array of musical contexts for nearly 30 years now. He’s been a vital link between the Chicago and European improvising communities. In 1999, he was awarded the MacArthur prize for music.”I’ve praised the qualities of both Kugel and Tokar before … Both men are extremely precise instrumentalists with a shared musical vision of sculpting jazz into a more universal musical language.” – Stef Gijssels, Freejazz-stef, Belgium

“Mark Tokar is a key figure in the ukrainian jazz scene” – allaboutjazz.com, USA
“Tokar’s larger-than-life tone and impeccable intonation is front-and-center … ” – John Vincent Barron, Jazzreview.com, USA

“Percussionist Klaus Kugel is a commanding force behind the drum set.” – John Barron, Jazzreview.com, USA
“These three discs… show Kugel as a drummer whose nearly boundless energy and imagination cannot be confined by neat categories.” – Ed Hazel, Signal To Noise, USA
