about

«Masterfully led by guitarist / composer / arranger Fred Maurin, Ping Machine takes his rightful place as a first rank orchestra on the French scene. (...) A big band with its own sound, a real inner dynamic and some original orchestral colors . A big band that does not hesitate to launch ideas (arrangement, soloists, guests) in the most adventurous directions with a lot of accuracy and a staggering intuition. (...) To be discovered urgently.» (Thierry Quenum, Jazz Magazine/Jazzman, France, novembre 2009)
«Ping Machine is a perfect example of how a Big Band can sound really differently.» (Jazz Podium, Germany, 2009).»
« Ping Machine strikes hard with a very impressive second record.» (Criss Cross Jazz, France, novembre 2009)
«This new album from Ping Machine, the superb big-band led by Fred Maurin, is fantastic ! (...) There is a very accurate sense of orchestration and collective music.» (Jean-Marc Gélin, Dernières Nouvelles du Jazz, France, novembre 2009)
«Julien Soro takes here his rightful place as a first rank soloist on tenor saxophone.» (Franck Bergerot, chef editor Jazz Magazine, France, july 2009)
