Hearing John Law’s trio had me paying rapt attention to every bar, every nuance in a way I don’t remember since listening for 30 years. One to watch out for in 2008. Jazzwise, Nod Knowles chief executive, Bath Festivals and president of Europe Jazz Network |

"Law's piano improvisations were often astonishing in their boldness and technical ambition, the more so for being jazz-rooted without mimicking the usual Jarrett, Tyner or Hancock licks. [His large ensemble project Out Of The Darkness produced] a rich and completely distinctive contemporary music programme." |

"An interesting and highly gifted maverick musician" |
01/12/1997 Jazzman, France |
"(next to Django Bates) the other prodigal child of British piano" |
01/10/1997 Jazz Podium, Germany |
"...technical bravura with crystal clear, fast passagework coupled with a sovereign command over everything that is pianistically possible. You wonder if there is actually anything that this pianist cannot do." |
01/09/1997 Avant Magazine |
"John Law is one of three British musicians to have emerged over the last few years who are genuinely world class... He really is a major talent!" |
10/06/1997 Chris Parker, The Times |
"Law's three solo piano albums confirm his reputation as one of this country's most imaginative young pianists" |
01/05/1997 John Fordham, The Guardian |
"John Law is a highly communicative artist whose technique and focussed view of his work crosses many boundaries." |
01/04/1997 Jazzwise |
"John Law has developed into one of Europe's most adventurous pianists" |
01/09/1995 Cadence, New York |
"Creative music at a level not often heard... a formidable technique"
|
01/07/1995 Jazzthetik, Germany |
"Talitha Cumi is a pianistic masterpiece... stupendous and precise technique. When he records for ECM he'll become a star!" |
