"On this evidence, 'Making Rooms' already seems certain to feature prominently in many an end-of-year list of best releases. Yes, a future classic." — All About Jazz

"'Making Rooms' has a connection, not only between the musicians but with the listener. It is real, emotive and altogether beautiful." — Something Else!

"An audacious opening salvo from what is sure to be an essential new label for creative music... a powerful statement" — Burning Ambulance

"sets a high standard for future releases... it’s one that anyone with any interest in freely improvised music will find inexhaustible." — Dalston Sound

"While this set may provide in Parker the most immediately recognizable figure, the other performances consistently testify to the inherent value of free improvisation, a musical methodology as rich in substantive content as it is in means of sound production." — The New York City Jazz Record

"Magnificent" — Jazzwise

"A genuine box of treasures" — The Wire

Album of the Year 2016 — Towards The Margins

"Ett album som borde bli en klassiker. Enkel biljett till Örontofta, tack!" — Orkester Journalen

"Sammen er denne boksen blitt en strålende presentasjon av noe av det mest interessante som foreligger innenfor den fritt improviserte musikken i dag." — salt peanuts
