about

Album of the Year 2013 (Choc de l'année 2013) for Jazz Magazine
Nominated at Victoires du Jazz as Album of the Year in 2014

« ‘Encore’ restera un jalon essentiel de ce que l’on peut désormais appeler ‘une oeuvre’» (Franck Bergerot, Jazz Magazine/Jazzman, France)
« Breaking the somewhat archaic conceptualized rules of what orchestral jazz «should be» and taking it to an explorato- ry level that few ensembles fear to tread and pull it off with such energy is a rare thing. This is music that walks a harmonic tightrope that other large ensembles simply can not come close to. (...) A sonic feast for the senses !» (Bop-N-Jazz, UK)
« La Machine qui fait Ping continue de nous surprendre au plus haut point et l’on se demande jusqu’où peut aller l’étonnante progression de cet orchestre au regard des surprises et de l’engouement qu’il suscite en nous à chaque nouveau projet. » (Lionel Eskenazi, Jazz Magazine/Jazzman, France)
« Ping Machine est ce qu’il y a de plus novateur, d’intrigant, d’emballant, de bandant par son écriture subtilement agen- cée ainsi que son éclatante créativité/fécondité dans le domaine du grand orchestre aujourd’hui... »
(Jacques Chesnel, Académie du Jazz, France)
« C’est à la fois d’une sophistication de dentelle architecturale et d’une fluidité de rivière imprévisible. (...) Prenez garde à vous : une fois mordu par cet orchestre, on ne peut guère faire autrement que de lui rester fidèle..» (Thierry Quénum, Jazz Magazine/Jazzman, France)
« Ping Machine est décidément l’orchestre qui monte. (...) Par-delà le fait que l’exigence interne, la dimension proprement orga- nique des compositions du leader sont toujours plus abouties, ce qui frappe c’est la fraîcheur que le répertoire conserve en live. » (Ludovic Florin, Jazz Magazine/Jazzman, France)
« Une véritable fresque sonore qui coupe le souffle.» (Thierry Giard, CultureJazz, France)
« Here the orchestra shows that their live are as incredible as their studio recording. In concert matching as well temper with precision, rhythmically complexe structures as well as funny gaps, fragile beauty and broad pathos.» (Uli Lemke, Jazz thing, Germany)
« Ping Machine is lighting up the scene of the big band formations.» (Stefan Pieper, Jazzthetik, Germany)
« Kept together by a fantastic dramaturgy Ping Machine presents highly fascinating sound pictures that would rock a New Music Festival as well as enjoying a rock audience..» (Johannes Frisch, Der Kurier, Germany)
