“An absolute must as it is a real firework in the scanty contemporary music landscape.” (Jassepoes, Belgium)

"The word of the ‚new worlds of sound’ usually picked up in the context of contemporary music is quite worn out, but with Lotz it is entitled.” (Neue Zeutschrift für Musik, Germany)

"Sound architect of a different kind!” (Jazz, Portugal)

"Music of insistence – away from all trials" (Uni Jazz, Czech Rep.)

“You gotta have either a) chops b) chutzpah or c) perfect timing for a horn player to successfully do a solo album. Flautist Mark Alban Lotz throws down the flute gauntlet, and pulls off an impressive salvo.” (Jazzweekly, USA)
