Nils Wogram’s masterpiece as a composer and band leader … a great accomplishment!

Stereo (Germany), November 2013

Inspired, refined music from and for rascals.

Stereoplay (Germany), November 2013

And it does work! Nils Wogram has succeeded in connecting strings and a jazz band, something that most jazz musicians fail to do.

Audio (Germany), November 2013

Communication and interaction are the reasons why Riomar has succeeded in building a bridge between a jazz band and classical strings.

Jazzthing (Germany), November 2013 – January 2014

Riomar is a perfect example of relaxed, natural and sensuous music making with depth.

Jazz ‘n’ More (Switzerland), November / December 2013

Brilliant tones ….traditional education, modern sound: the trombonist Nils Wogram.

Kulturspiegel (Germany), November 2013

… [in] his suite of pieces … in several parts, Nils Wogram persuades the listener with inspired spirits, courageously moving, from time to time, across musical boundaries.

Concerto (Austria), October / November 2013

… the septet creates sound moods of bewitchingly exotic beauty.

Kulturtipp (Switzerland), 20 / 13

And this recording astounds and pleases, with an unconventional interplay between chamber music-like moments and a swinging motif …. a fulminant recording.

Westfälischer Anzeiger (Germany), October 15, 2013

Wogram draws neither on cerebral nor on softened attempts at such fusions, but rather lets each co-player unfold his individuality so that colorful, atmospheric and entertaining images of sound fill up the well balanced compositions.
