"The Fairy Tale Trio is the absolute jazz-ethno highlight of the year in 1999. On Jazz Across The Border there are no kitschy approaches towards folklore. There are also no folklore themes that are converted into jazz pieces. Here, jazz is not being enriched with folkloric influences, music is being created here that holds you captive from the very first note on. ... They make music from the bottom of their hearts, which is a rarity in this day and age where ignorant product managers and label directors tyrannise music. Its probably already the CD of the year."
