"Certainly European jazz, once regarded by Americans with the same sort of tolerant smile they reserve for Japanese baseball, is currently giving more and more evidence of stepping into the evolutionary continuum as American jazz falters. The momentum for innovation is now irresistible – not least as evidence the music is continuing to evolve as an art form. Which is why Koreni is like a shot of electricity in its reshaping and re-imagining of jazz using Balkan folk music, free jazz, electric jazz and straight ahead improvisation. Here is tangible evidence of evolution, of a corner turned, of something new and fresh. The creative rush of ‘La Petit Gitane,’ for example, contains moments of inspired and exciting music making, something that the sober rationalization of those who inhabit past styles of jazz almost succeeded in bleaching out of the music entirely."
