'Der soulige und warme Sound des flügelhorn-und Trompetenspielers Lochs sticht aus einem überdurchschnittlichen Quartet hervor'
 

'These musicians really understand their melodies'

Lochs a nimble and dexterous trumpet player, who reveals his virtuosity mainly in the moulding of his sound - hence the title of his cd. He is a man who truly knows how to make his flugelhorn sizzle, instead of just using the instrument for ballads. In Florian Zenker and Jasper Somsen he found his perfect sparring-partners: they completely follow the broad spectrum of atmospheres, rhythms and melodies Bert Lochs wishes to unleash upon the world.

'There are not many interesting trumpet players in jazz anyway, but Lochs, who provides an alternative to mainstream jazz on the Dutch scene, has now reached a point in his playing that one can easily establish that Lochs' sound can hardly be bettered.'

'Geprägt wird das Quartet durch die einfühlsamen trompetensoli von Bert Lochs, der besonders bei seinen ruhigen, selbstkomponierten Stücken heraussticht'

Personally, I do believe that the your music fits in with the best....
And you deserve to be heard.... I only play the best.'

'Trumpet player Bert Lochs has a pleasant tone, creamy and fat...With his considerable technique he is able to tell his story extensively...An intriguing CD

Lochs is a gifted and versatile trumpet player: always investigative, seldom predictable; introspective and intimate.
