MACIEK PYSZ
"Guitarist Maciek Pysz’s “Insight” is a gorgeous revelation of an album. Supported by the always inventive playing of noted drummer Asaf Sirkis and bassist Yuri Goloubev, Pysz’s acoustic lines may be perfect, pure and smoothly played, but their intent is too powerful to be anything close to being smooth jazz. Thank God. There is guitar wizardry on display here, and drum and bass wizardry too, but it is all in service to Pysz’s enthralling compositions"
Walter Kolosky (Author of the books Power, Passion and Beauty and Follow Your Heart - John McLaughlin song by song)
"...extraordinary in every sense. Wholeheartedly recommended!****"
Adam Baruch (Polish Jazz Blogspot/The Soundtrack Of My Life)

"...combination of enormous talent, virtuosity and passion as well as a deep sensitivity"
Rich Rainlore (Rainlore's World Of Music)
"Maciek’s compositions stay with you after listening and the trio play with great sensitivity and brilliant use of dynamics. The studio sound of this recording is pristine and worth hearing purely for the sound – but the music rewards the listener far beyond that"
