"A band of equals.
This is jazz, no doubt about it, stripped to its essence of stellar interplay, brilliant soloing and fun in each other's but also one's own mastery of the instrument. Jazz with all its nervousness, its agitation, its emotional depth, its instrumental prowess, its freedom and joy. Together they move as one. Hence the album's title: their collaboration serves as a remedy to stay sane physically and mentally during the pandemic."

"A solid force, a righteous, tight balance of three strong spirits. There are some truly difficult daredevil twists and turns going on here. Considering that this is a trumpet-led trio, there is quite a bit more going on here than one might think."

"This is the second album of this magnificent “free jazz” trio where swing and melodic invention overflow…With Remedy II, the listener and the musicians go straight to the essence of the emotion, energy and love of music with great spontaneity and the assurance of great creators. When the sum of the parts surpasses what we are already entitled to dream of when reading their names: Thomas Heberer, Joe Fonda and Joe Hertenstein: a remedy for the ambient gloom! "

"Overall it appears that any potential drawbacks implicit in a trio arrangement like this can easily be overcome by a combination of skills, ideas and cooperation. It can even happen with a pandemic raging."
