| "The instrumentation is unique, the sound is pristine and the personalities are strong. The melodies are unforgettable, and their impact is quietly explosive..."
"On Rosetta, you can hear Stephan's omnivorous outlook filtering through. The songs are complex yet immediate, and ever-so-slightly twisted. Each is its own compact universe, but the album tells a unified tale. I believe the coherence of Stephan's art is rare. And thanks to this rare and imaginative lineup - bass and two richly contrasting guitars - his gifts are nakedly and thrillingly apparent. So put on your headphones and let the sounds seep in. Like me, you've heard countless recordings, including many extraordinary ones. But Rosetta is jazz as it's never quite sounded before."
