"The pianist is Elchin Shirinov, the thoughtful but forceful Azerbaijani musician who played on both Two Roses and Arvoles...Cohen's vivacious bass improv and Shirinov's contrastingly imperturbable lyricism glow through this fine set - and if the new tunes add few surprises to the leader's signature songbook, the playing is incandescent.”

John Fordham, The Guardian

"Shirinov's performance was suave and confident, melting into the lower tones of Cohen's bass. His piano solo in the central number ‘Shifting Sands’ was a moment of calm within an electrifying set.”

Izzy Blankfield, London Jazz News / London Jazz Festival Review 2021

"Elchin has a really good sense of how to orchestrate for the trio setting. In particular, he finds a distinct place for the piano and the bass in the music. He doesn't play any extraneous stuff that the bass is already doing. That makes the listening experience pleasing - it's transparent. His record is a strong achievement - pleasing to listen to, strong compositions, nice improvising, really good trio playing."
