What People Have to Say about Joris Dudli

Dudli ( who is, for my money, the real star of this session) tends to provide the sort of drum-
ming you’ d expect on a free outing- some rhythmic pulse, but a lor of low rumbling pushing the soloist along as if on a tidal wave...Dudli forcing them to move further ahead...,plays as if he has five or six independant limbs. He keeps the beat with the cymbals, and while he is doing that, he is constantly playing, using his drums to make the ground shake under the soloist. Eric Saidel for Cadence, USA

.” Joris is a wonderful drummer, getting better every day...a good drummer is irreplaceable, I would like to play with Joris anywhere, ...he plays in such a wonderful way- it’s a pleasure to share the music with him.”
Art Farmer for JAZZPODIUM, Germany
...” Joe Henderson was accompanied by Joris Dudli,who has a way of playing that is alive without complicating things...”Boris Rabinowitsch for POLITKEN, Denmark

...” Joe Henderson played great- this was made possible by very fine Austrian drummer Joris Dudli.”
Jorgen Siegumfeldt for BERLINGSKE, Denmark

...” Joris Dudli, so keen of hearing in reaction, so immensely rich in inspiration.”
Werner Urtlauf for NEUES VOLKSBLATT, Austria

“ Meanwhile pianist Rob Schneidermann, bassist Ira Coleman and drummer Joris Dudli provided an aptly hushed backdrop (as the rhythm section for the Art Farmer- Clifford Jordan Quintet).
Howard Reich for CHICAGO TRIBUNE, USA
...” and Dudli displayed a lively personality...”
Lloyd Sachs for CHICAGO SUNDAY TIMES,USA

“ The best parts are when Garzone is left to run with ... and drummer Joris Dudli,...
