Cornelissen appears here as a composer of pieces appear to fit the best into the category of modern electro-jazz - multi-faceted and inspired by music outside of the jazz universe. Clear structures, uncluttered lines, without forgetting the melodies and, above all, a good portion of groove from the eyes (and ears).
The tight, energetic sound reflects the close ties between the three musicians, expressive and dynamic, he can not even die-hard jazz listeners to cast its spell.
