| "It
is unabashedly one of Europe´s most
sophisticated jazz bands"....."Dørge
and band don't simply reverently imitate the
Ellington jungle-sound, but ironically and
humorously carry that sound to its logical
musical conclusion"....."His (Dørge´s)
imaginative play with African styles and instrumentation,
is unparalleled by any other musicians not
of African descent" |

of the most original, exuberant and, dare
I say it, fun jazz concerts seen for some

jazz composers Ellington and Mingus plus a

Dørge lytteren på en musikalsk

er stor original musik, som skolebørnene
skulle have med i madpakken som tvungent kosttilskud
om vinteren." |
 |
| "Skandinavisk
jazz lär aldrig bli originalere, mindre
skandinavisk eller njutbarare än så
här. Mognad musik för hela världen" |
 |
| "...den
mand kan blive ved med at finde nye veje.
En dansk jazzmusiker, vi kan være buldrende
stolte af i lille Danmark" |
