“All [the tracks] have a justification for shouting ‘Me, me, me, play me’ because they are all so good.”

John Hellings - Jazz With John Hellings, BBC Hereford & Worcester

“The Pianist and composer Louis Vause is a reminder of a different era, when musicians living exuberant, near-chaotic lives devoured all the music they encountered and let it reemerge, coloured effortlessly with their own personality. It’s all there in these 10 delightful tracks - Cuban sultriness, Satin-like waltzes, Kurt Weill-like bands, played swaggeringly on a piano that’s definitely seen life. Behind them all is a shrewd musical intelligence exemplified by the sly chord pattern of Manrique.”

- Ivan Hewett (Daily Telegraph)
