"Following the career of Canadian/Scandinavian trumpeter Ingrid Jensen seemed to peak at a new level with At Sea which ambitiously resembled an ECM label project. However, all that has now been overshadowed by the release of Flurry by Nordic Connect. Many highlights make this album destined for repeated listening with beautiful and haunting work from the musicians. On "Seascape," an impressive feeling of longing permeates the composition; the closing "Breathe/Quadri'l" begins as a down-tempo composition that is intertwined with Christine's alto sax. The piece continues with shifting tonal colors, concluding with some Ingrid's hard bop finale. All compositions were written by the Jensens and Olin. While there is some sporadic use of the Fender Rhodes, it is not an overwhelming factor insofar as enjoyment of this album." (Allaboutjazz).
"Torben Waldorff is a new electric guitarist on the scene deserving a close listen and keen attention. His distinctly contemporary stylings certainly fall along the lines of Pat Metheny, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Adam Rogers, Steve Cardenas, Joel Harrison, Ben Monder and the like. More relaxed and frugal, less dependent on effects and pedals, Waldorff offers an amplified sound that is warm, effusive, and uncomplicated. His quintet, featuring the marvelous tenor saxophonist Donny McCaslin, hits on six shared cylinders of trust, unification, symmetry, balance, benevolence, and spirit. While Waldorff wrote most of this original music, the strength of its sound is centered not so much in his ability to lead, but his concept in pulling the load alongside his quite capable sidemen. Sam Yahel in particular is a great member of the mule team, switching up tracks on Fender Rhodes, organ, or acoustic piano". (Michael G. Nastos, Allmusic).
