* Pianist/composer Amina Figarova's September Suite is not just an homage to the victims and those they left behind after the September 11th attacks on New York and Washington DC. Rather, it is an ode to mourning; a sketch of grief that may occur in any way, shape, or form, anywhere in the world.
* Figarova is without doubt one of the most talented European jazz composers and pianists. She has performed with James Moody, Nathan Davis, Claudio Roditi, Larry Corryell, and Wynard Harper.
"There have been many responses to the events of 9/11, but none more revelatory in their authenticity and realization than September Suite." -- JazzTimes
"September Suite has a layered, lush sound that seems as if it could be a vehicle for a symphony orchestra; but composed and arranged by Figarova for her sextet, it's music that couldn't be improved upon. Magnificent! A top ten disc for sure." -- All About Jazz
"Dutch pianist/composer Amina Figarova was staying with friends in Brooklyn on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001. She saw the smoke rising from the World Trade Center before the towers went down. Now she has written a complete nine-song cycle, released with a bonus track, for 61.5 minutes of thoughtful music that is uplifting without feeling religious, encouraging without ever becoming sticky sweet. Neither are there tons of dissonance and anger." -- Tucson Citizen
"Ms. Figarova impresses as both a composer and an instrumentalist. She receives ample and sympathetic support from a band that includes Nico Schepers on trumpet and flugelhorn, Bart Platteau on a variety of flutes, Kurt van Herck on tenor saxophone, Wiru Mathieu on bass, and drummer Chris Strik. The things that happened on September 11, 2001 will probably never make sense, but September Suite does manageto express musically a sense of that experience and is a welcome contribution." -- JazzReview
