Press Reviews PULS:"On both his instruments, Myklebust is a sincere and expressive musician." (...)"oj trio has picked up a musical language that most people thought Chet Baker had brought to his grave."Propaganda:"If records like this one is the result of people getting a degree in music, we should face a bright future."Universitas:"Despite big names on the list of songwriters, it's actually Myklebusts own compsitions that really make the band sparkle. «They can't take that away from me» is a beautiful coda, where Qvenild og Myklebust, in a lovely ensemble, really does justice to the Gerswin-guys."
