"Released on Hubro, an Oslo label that concentrates on jazz and improvised music, "Morning" is the recording of a first meeting between a group of established, curious and creative European musicians. Norwegians Mats Eilertsen on bass, Per Oddvar Johansen on drums and pianist Kjetil Mulelid met Dutch saxophonist Kika Sprangers for a couple of days at the drummer’s home. The resulting recording has an air of spontaneity and thoughtfulness, and is a compelling document. Sprangers’ saxophone is central to the ensemble sound. A warm, breathy tone with just the hint of a long slow vibrato, in many of the pieces there’s a sense of her pointing the way, or leading the quartet into an exploration of a melodic idea, even if sometimes textures and colours have been sketched first by piano or the rustling of Johansen at the kit. "Beiggja" have created a beautiful, absorbing tapestry with this collaboration which we can only hope is one that will be repeated." (UK Jazz News)
