“... a gamechanging new trio!" - John Fordham - Guardian albums of the month - UK
One of the new Jazz albums to listen out for... Ulrich Habersetzer - Deutschlandfunk - DE
"... Shedding warm illuminations on all our fragile, secretive, sensuous moments, is the underlying axiom behind British pianist/composer Julie Sassoon 's vulnerable and telling music. A classicist at heart who, whether she is aware of it or not, comes at her music in much the manner as Marilyn Crispell—visceral, personal, labyrinthine, yet ultimately accessible..."

VOYAGES on Jazzwerkstatt
‘Voyages’ has just been nominated as one of the most outstanding
contemporary Jazz recordings for the
German Record Critic’s Award!
Guardian's Jazz Album of the month by John Fordham!
"The Sound of a Fascinating Original..."
'...Sassoon is a fascinating original, her piano world inhabited by Keith Jarrett’s lyricism and driving hooks and Steve Reich’s minimalism, but perhaps most significantly, the resources she has been accumulating through collaborations with unorthodox jazz and contemporary classical improvisers since the 1990s...
...This is music that splices lyrical shapeliness with bursts of take-no-prisoners abstraction, but Sassoon’s sensitivity to that balance is as alert here as her listeners have come to expect...'
John Fordham - **** Guardian
Frankfurter Rundschau
Julie Sassoon Voyages: 'Aus dem weiten Raum des Klaviers...'
'...Die Musik... geht oft wie staunend durch unbekannte Räume, die weniger durch krasse Farben als durch rätselvolle Details, eigensinnige Formverläufe und erstaunliche Tiefen charakterisiert sind. Die manchmal an etwas Älteres erinnern, oft aber an gar nichts und statt dessen eigene Wege beschreiten...'
Hans-Jürgen Linke - Frankfurter Rundschau
JazzPodium
“…Ist das eine schöne Platte! …Dieses Ensembles, international gerühmt für sein sensibles Interplay, seine mitreißende Emotionalität, die Entdeckungsreisen in organischer Gemeinsamkeit, hat mit Voyages die eigene Erlebens-Landschaft nochmals erweitert, ihre neue Lichtquellen und Ausblicke verpasst…”
Werner Siebert - JazzPodium
Jazz&Mo'
"...I will be bold about this: I love this kind of contemporary jazz to death!
I'm a big fan of Carla Bley and what Julie Sassoon creates with her quartet puts her in that league!
... It's a work of art."
Geert Ryssen - fullcirclemusic.com
All About Jazz
"... As on a high speed, downhill slalom chase, listeners are suddenly, nakedly and without poles hurled into "Missed Calls"; the opening burst of sublime energy and groupthink cracks Voyages wide open, sets the mad, determined pace and tone for a craftily organic, six-song, free-jazz adventure which never lets up. It is breakneck rhythm churning, keening, into whiplash waves, a wake up call of massive proportions..."

'Schattenbilder und Himmelsflüge' Die Pianistin Julie Sassoon - von Bert Noglik
Last year I was very honoured to be asked by Bert Noglik if he could do a one hour radio feature about me
and my music for Deutschlandfunk Radio. The programme was broadcast on 'JazzFacts'- Deutschlandfunk
You can listen back here...
1 At the Water Tower
2 Murmuration
'an album which can be counted as one of 2021's top solo piano outings...'
Dan Mcclenaghan - allaboutjazz.com
'...it's truly a beautiful thing when ... Sassoon surrenders so completely to her instrument and the moment that, like a medium, reveals mysteries to us in ways both intimate and oceanic...'
'..."At the Water Tower" is an emotive, forward tumbling elegy of darkness and light. Sledgehammer and flower. While it swirls around you its center stays calm, and from that vantage both pianist and listener watch the world move...'
Mike Jurkovic - allaboutjazz.com
'a moment of pure magic ...'
Geert Ryssen - fullcirclemusic.com
‘…Sassoon has always possessed an uncanny instinct for sidestepping mimicry or cliché…
...in the gliding, airborne "Murmuration" she was flying free... seamlessly evolving through startling harmonic modulations, alternations of staccato and sonorously rolling passages, dreamy reveries quietly punctuated by gleaming treble notes and deep chords, before a Jarrett-like rocking groove takes it out...'

"...eine schillernd-schöne Musik mit vielen Facetten. Musik, die zu berühren weiß mit Tönen, die keinem Klischee folgen, sondern sich dem Hörer auf ganz eigene Art nähern..."
"An iridescent, beautiful music with many facets… never one-dimensional…”
“… Music of such high sensitivity… that touches… with sounds that follow no clichées, but absorb the listener in a very unique way.”

“…I would urge anyone to seek out her live performances and experience it for themselves.”
--------------------------------------------
"...an unclassifiable venture... Julie Sassoon consistently makes the piano, her voice and her deepest emotions sound awesomely and naturally inseparable."
John Fordham ****
----------------------------
"... Jarrett is an artist with whom Sassoon shares a language and a tradition. Indeed, Land of Shadows might be thought of as the Cologne Concert after Jarretts The Koeln Concert.
It deserves (and given a chance, will receive) the same kind of recognition and adulation..."
