Press quotes:
”That Sweden has got its own harmonica virtuoso in Toots Thielemans class is very clear.” – Lena Köster, Upsala Nya Tidning 2011

”The result is a completely fantastic odyssey i harmonica genres: blues, western, jazz, swedish folkmusic and free improvisation.”- Magnus Börjesson, Nerikes Allehanda 2011

”One really has to say that it was hard to believe that a harmonica CD could be this interesting and varied.” – Magnus Mjöhagen, Arbetarbladet 2011

"this is a CD that breathes, sometimes jazz, alternately blue notes that turns into folkmusic, where a well thought-out sound picture, sometimes instrusive, somtimes it backs a few steps, reinforce the presence. What will it become of this young genius?" – Jan-Erik Zandersson, Nya Upplagan 2011
