“How pleasant it is to meet ‘About Time’, Ari Erev’s new album… Relaxed, and skilled Trio
playing with a deep and warm sound, showing a great love for Jazz… Ari combines abstraction
and complexity with warmth, delicacy and beauty, and he does it gently and intelligently,
leaving space to each of these foundations…
A heartwarming album with evidence of talent, maturity and lots of good taste…”

Asher Kesher, Tel-Aviv Times
“…program that is coherent in feeling and approach, lyrical, melodic and carefully reserved…
Some of the original compositions… are well-articulated, with a clear and elegantly developed theme,
with enough room for his trio members to add their own comments…”
Eyal Hareuveni, AllAboutJazz
“…very heartfelt jazz trio music… a beautiful "Turn Out The Stars" as program closer… Erev succeeds in displaying his love of this music.”
Mark Salesky, blogcritics.com
“…(the music) has the quality that is very precious - it conveys and evokes very personal and deep emotions. Ari's playing is very warm and delicate, full of sensitivity. Highly recommended.”
