Ride The Slide - Reviews
Im very happy about the international reviews of Ride The Slide's latest CD "Get Up" which you can get right here: SOMATON :))
Downbeat Magazine (USA)
"Mario Vavti's trio begins each tune on Get Up with a grounding in the straightahead. But then Vavti keeps piling on new sounds and ideas overdubbing electronics to achieve music that both seems familiar and progressive."
--Jon Ross
Music Austria (A)
"Jazz trifft auf Elektronik, Drum 'n' Bass, einen gewissen alpenländischen Touch, auf waghalsige, jedoch immer der Musik dienliche Improvisationen, auf Loops, allerlei Schräges, auf ordentlich viel Groove und noch mehr Spielwitz."
-- Michael Ternai
ITA-Journal (USA)
"Mix in three innovative musical forces, a dash of electronic sound wizardry, and a generous helping of unabashed musical exploration. Simmer in a finely mixed recording, and you will get nine distinctive music creations on a CD titled GET UP - RIDE THE SLIDE."
--Stan Pethel
Concerto (A)
"Mario Vavti gelingt mit seinem Trio Ride The Slide ein durchaus ansprechendes Debütwerk. Gemeinsam mit dem Bassisten Stefan Thaler und dem Schlagzeuger Harry Tanschek gelingt der musikalische Blick über den Tellerrand ausgezeichnet, das Jazztrio spielt sich frisch durch Mario Vavti's Kompositionen."
--Wolfgang Tausch
Delo (SLO)
"Ta pozitivni, igrivi, raziskovalni duh, ki ga konec koncev implicira ze naslov Ride the Slide (spusti se po toboganu), je prisoten prav v vseh devetih skladbah na albumu. Tako v kompozicijah, kot v temah. Trio se je med snemanjem plosce nedvomno nadvse zabaval."
--Tina Lesnicar

Musenblaetter (DE)
"Sein brandneues Trio-Album "Get Up" mit dem Bassisten Stefan Thaler und dem Schlagzeuger Harry Tanschek ist ein wunderbarer Wurf voller Witz und Harmonie, in einer perfekt gelungenen Mischung des klassischen Jazz-Sounds der Zugposaune mit raffinierten Loops, freien Elementen und brillanten Soli aller drei Instrumente."
