about

Müller is blessed with something rare - an individual voice. On both soprano and tenor, she explores deep chasms of sound and abstract melody. on “Crazy Cradle”, for example, Müller uses the percussive head as a base from which to sway the melody from side to side, never quite settling for the obvious. On “Searching For a Place To Be”, she plays a simple but gorgeous melody that drifts over the rolling rhythms of bassist Peter Herbert and drummer Jeff Brillinger. The resulting effect is truly trance-inducing and quietly intense...this is a stunning debut.”
Russ Summers im US-Musikmagazin “Option” 70, | 01. Sep 1996

“Everybody dreams about it, Henriette Müller did it: She studied for two years in New York, graduated with a Masters of Music from Manhattan School of Music and at the same time conquered a place at the toughest scene of the world - engagements at the Five Spot, the Knitting Factory and at the Guggenheim Museum (with star drummer Jim Black) give evidence of it. Her debut CD is a résumé of this time...Henriette Müller proves to be a mature musician with a voice of her own. Her smooth, slightly removed soprano saxophone playing with soft articulation and periods of long open musical development provide an attractive charm...Her tenor sounds slightly rougher and brings more robust accents into her finely built compositions.”
Marcus Gammel in "Jazzpodium” | 01. Oct 1996
