"Hypnotizing rhythems and crisply articulated phrases are the trademark of the Max Grosch Quartet. With electrifying swing-improvisations and a mix of Bebop, standards and originals these musicians have advanced to shooting stars in the German jazzscene. ... and the musicians unleashed a true hurricane of playfulness and and improvisational facility."

AZ, 2005

"...The quartet has mastered this perfectly, which is not only due to the outstanding musical skills of each individual member, but also to the concept of the interpretation altogether. The usual setting of theme and improvisational variations was in this case not just a simple procedure, but always rounded off in an overall dramaturgical development, speaking in musical pictures as well as accompanied by a narrative quality."

Süddeutsche Zeitung, 2003

"This band amazed by individual perfection and ability on each instrument, as well as through listening to one another and interacting amongst each other. This created numerous varieties of colours and an exciting atmosphere. The joy of playing spread throughout the hall and even people not quite so acquainted with Jazz improvisation were found enthusiastically applauding the scene."

Magazin Spittal (A), 2004

"An innovative quartet, that was able to shine with outstanding improvisational skills."

Münchner Merkur, 2003

"Max Grosch's violin playing is free, flexible and from time to time climaxes in breathtaking speed and height."

Süddeutsche Zeitung, 2003

"Enthusiastic faces in all the seats... The monastery hall shook with applause for the quartet."

Münchener Merkur 2003

"At times more lyrical, at times fiery, then suddenly exploding like fireworks in their solos…It was virtuosic dialoguing in which no one dominated and the violin with its controlled, slender sound yet highly differentiated tone blended in with the general sound pattern."

Augsburger Allgemeine, 2003

"The four young musicians knew how to entertain their audience that had turned out in great numbers."

Süddeutsche Zeitung 2003

"The audience was very much taken by special guest violinist Max Grosch. …Max Grosch was a true highlight in a highly professional concert."

Münchner Merkur 2003

"We are certain to hear more about this talented jazz violinist in the future."
