"Few contemporary European jazz guitarists have cultivated a musical identity as quietly compelling and deeply reflective as Kwella with honesty of expression, refined musical intelligence and unwavering commitment til the art of listening. He represents the finrest ideal of contemporary jazz: curiosity without pretension, sophistication without distance, and virtuosity always placed in service of musical storytelling"

***** "Kwella and Stowell are genuinely virtuosic instrumentalists, but what makes The Room so compelling is the sense of ease and confidence that runs through every track. Nothing feels forced. Everything is delivered with warmth, sparkle, and an effortless sense of musical generosity."
Ivan Rod, Gaffa, July 26

 "Kwella is an extremely experienced and driven guitarist who has a strong technical foundation to stand on and therefore has the calmness and superiority to strike a fine balance between technique, the heartfelt and presence."
