" Souriau's big band illuminates the inventiveness hiding in the mainstream."

"One of the most original orchestral jazz composers of our time - astonishing music."

"Magali Souriau was first noticed as the leader of a gorgeous big band, but her trio shows that she's an equally astounding pianist and small-group leader. Souriau's drumerless trio is optimum for this theater setting; the dynamics of tenorist Chris Cheek and bassist Matt Pavolka come across crystal clear with no amplification whatsoever."

"Souriau's way with Monk is just the beginning of her powers."
- K. Leander Williams, Time Out New York

"Strong, fresh voice in orchestral jazz."

"Her pieces are like champagne just as the cork is popped - She is well poised to expand upon Evan's legacy of cool."
