"For "The Bird and the Sky Above", the brand-new Finnegans Wake album, Alexandre Johnson (flute, G-flute), Henry Krutzen (tenor sax, percussion and piano), Marcilio Onofre (piano) and Markus Stauss (bass sax) were joined by guests Dudú Campos and Sami Tarik (percussion), Darlan Marley (drums) and Antônio de Pádua (trumpet, slide trumpet). The result is a very remarkable album. This is improvised jazz in the broadest meaning of the word. The six pieces on this disc share the search for dialogue, the search for melody and interaction. The participating musicians give each other a lot of room, a lot of space, in the various pieces. it makes the sound more "contemporary classcial" than "free jazz". On the other hand, the use of the piano, the percussion and the bass saxophone give the the whole an ethnic touch. Fascinating"-United Mutations blog
