and especially for saxophonists, he is a man to watch.' '....and written with an awareness of how to get the best from a saxophone quartet...' '....it doesn’t outstay its welcome, and can be recommended for social playing, or as an attractive short constituent item on a recital programme.' |

| About 'Inner Space, Trance of Thought' | ||
| Ruud van Eeten's "Inner Space - trance of thought" is a piece of real music. There are not so many pieces of real beauty in the contemporary trombone ensemble repertoire like this one. | ||

| About 'Inner Space, Trance of Thought' | ||
| In particular a commission from Ruud van Eeten, Inner Space - Trance of Thought, is a fascinating examination of the birth of an idea, its dissemination and eventual acceptance as truth. Its opening chattering, rhythmic, chordal background underpins long lyrical lines displaying impressively tight ensemble and controlled sostenuto by the New Trombone Collective. This piece caught my attention for the genuinely innovative way it combines largely consonant musical language with contrapuntal merging of its melodic material. A long, introspective central section introduces some fine solo playing before working through to the original ideas. | ||
