Quotes:

“On Paper Planes Van Rhijn is being inspired by traditional jazz. His compositions are lyrical and atmospheric… Van Rhijn his pure tone is melodic and modest…” (translated)
-Jazzenzo (The Netherlands)

“The sound of this trio is neat and demonstrates the essence of a trumpet trio.... With this minimal instrumentation as a trio you can hear the subtle interplay between the musicians, which makes it more enjoyable.
Their playing never gets boring, because it's sophisticated and the musicians react to each other.” (translated)
-Jazz People (South Korea)
