Each release by the Russian-born, American-domiciled Eckemoff is not a matter
of music alone (marvellous as that music mostly is) but rather an invitation
into a multi-dimensional world of painting and poetry, mythos and magic, all
fashioned by Eckemoff in one way or another. [...]

As usual, Eckemoff has changed the personnel which appeared on her previous
release Lonely Man And His Fish. Trumpeter Paolo Fresu is perfect for
Eckemoff’s poetics. Sample his sound and phrasing on Thirsty For New Songs, one
of the most reflective yet also, eventually, “up” pieces here. His distilled
yet airy and spacious musings and meditations flow across the beautifully
unfolding textures and rhythms supplied by Eckemoff and the excellent
Bulgarelli (b) and Bagnoli (d). [...]
