Press reviews

'The more often you hear the concert, the more you get the feeling you missed a big adventure.' (Deventer Dagblad)

'Where many cross-over projects fail by sticking to a succession of styles, Baraná & Co succeeds impressively. The secret lies in strong compositions and clever arrangements, but above all in the affinity to one another's music. Baraná & Co is the result of a friendship between the Turkish singer and saz-player Behsat Üvez and the Dutch clarinet player Steven Kamperman. Their friendship has truly inspired all of the nine co-operating musicians.' (De Volkskrant)

'Excellent music! (JazzReview.com)
