A New York Flight reviews
Skjazz.sk
”Extremely melodic tenor, without being sleek, the tone is bright, warm, and pleasant, without being too sweet........played with astonishing invention, joy, sincerity and playfulness, that goes hand in hand with a high instrumental skillset...This recording is the strongest proof of inspiration and the inexhaustibility of jazz standards!”
”The four musicians make the - original compositions and the standards such as Autumn In New York and I’m A Fool to Want You – swing meanwhile adding an open style with an edge, that gives the listeners pallet true umami”.... The work of this band ”A New York Flight” is a commendable gem”

”Here are no big musical surprises – just beautiful, thoughtful, honest music that lasts from now until eternity”

“Toftemark is a very elegant saxophonist, here I see his closeness to Lester Young very pronounced, although his tone is a bit stronger... incredibly courageous, full of warmth, gripping and professionally executed”...
"Autumn In New York" is such a beautiful piece..Toftemark adds another, very romantic version, he plays with so much feeling , not only gently, but also with autumn-colored rough passages, that is interpreted very soulfully.”
“"I'm A Fool To Want You".. the protagonist (Toftemark) spontaneously reminds me of John Coltrane...This is an excellent way to end a wonderfully 'old-fashioned' album... Yes, for Denmark it was indeed a stroke of luck that Andreas Toftemark returned there, and for all friends of good jazz music too, of course!
