'…vocalist Lohkenn who uses her voice like a powerful swooping and diving weapon. Sometimes…her wordless shouts mix with Grassi’s volcanic drumming in a way that recalls Abbey Lincoln and Max Roach. On other pieces she cries, moans and wails as though she is entering a trance state. (Five Colours) is a guttural scat fest…and gives way to Lohkenn singing lyrics in a forceful gospel-blues voice. Her voice throughout this disc is sensual and enveloping…” Cadence (USA)

'European vocalist Moo Lohkenn, performing with the Cooper-Moore trio, introduced yodel-like singing and high-pitched scatting into the musical equation to expand creative boundaries.“ All About Jazz (USA)

'…unbounded use of her voice…' Jazzrytmit (FIN)

„The vocalist (Moo Lohkenn) hits the ground somewhere between Linda Sharrock and Shelley Hirsch.“ Dogon Research (UK)

„...um fantastico vocalista chamado Moo Lohkenn.“ Improvisos Ao Sul (E)

„The singer Moo Lohkenn fascinates with the extraordinarily multi-facetted use she makes of her voice.“ Neue Luzerner Zeitung (Switzerland)

'These are sounds that first of all engage the mind, in order to then trace the long way to the soul from there. Lohkenn's voice is smoky and dry and embraces a diversity that could almost be frightening. (She) has mastered everything one could wish for in a good singer in terms of voice technique.' Melodiva (Germany)

'She sang passages in an almost operatic manner, moving into typical jazz, and integrated in her music the most unusual sounds one can get out of a voice. Oriental sounds curled up closely to standard blues.' WR (Germany)

„The noises and sung passages of sound artist Moo Lohkenn serve to transport her listeners into something akin to a state of trance.“ WAZ (D)

„...one of the great voices in contemporary jazz.“ WZ (D)
