"This CD finds Honsinger performing as he does best a style of fractured but highly emotive avant-garde cello. His vocalizing in improvisation is a kind of subconscious moan that is charming and somewhat frightening to hear over the squalls of cello lyricism. He lets the instrument do the talking, in that his vocalizing is vague tonal accompaniment to his virtuoso string flurries. His performance is flippant, but by no stretch is it slapstick; his improvising is highly developed, and he is captured in crystal-clear fidelity, and his performance is evocative of jazz, classical, folk, and avant-garde idioms, fields that he draws inspiration from then transmutes into his own unique instrumental language. This recording captures all of the evocative emotional weight that a cello recital carries, but is lively and upbeat while simultaneously melancholic and introspective. It is the speed with which the performer can transform from these emotions which highlights his virtuosity on the instrument (Allmusic)|"
"Tenor saxman Delius put together one of the best working jazz bands of the new millennium, and at least half the credit goes to those mainstays of the European scene, drummer Han Bennink and cellist Tristan Honsinger. The group's method of improvising suites utilizing written themes introduced democratically by any member. It works really well, bringing to mind the successful suite recordings of jazz master Sonny Rollins. The group also brings together many of the interests of the fascinating Honsinger, who has always created a unique improvised-sounding classical music, or classical-sounding improvisation. Bennink just swings and swings, setting up marvelous backgrounds and head-smashing punctuations for the tunes. The fourth member is the Canadian bassist Joe Williamson, who works beautifully with everybody. Fans of modern jazz that balances noise and improv with strong melodies and swinging rhythms will like this group." (Allmusic)
Nederlandse impro met Moore (clarinet, altsax, 16 oktober 2000 op JPD's jazzdag), Tristan Holsinger (cello) en Cor Fuhler (piano, Hammond en een zelfbouw-snaarinstrument). Een speler zet in met een geimproviseerde melodie, de rest volt.
Album uit 2000. Naast Delius (ts) met Tristan Honsinger (cello), Joe Williamson (b) en Han Bennink (d): deze onconventionele bezetting benut alle mogelijkheden tot mooie kleuringen bij zacht spel, maar ook tot chaotische uitbarstingen.
Opvolger van 'Toby's Mloby', uit 2001, met dezelfde bezetting. Vooral Delius en Bennink zoeken constant het avontuur, waarbij Williamson een rots in de branding blijft en Honsinger met fraai sonore melodieen extra diepte geeft.
