“Oehlers has a full command of the horn, a very warm tone, and a fondness (and surety in) the upper register that recalls Joe lovano”- Jason Bivins, Cadence magazine

“This was contemporary original jazz of world standard, played by highly talented artists demonstrating beyond all doubt that Australian groups such as Oehlers’ quartet are producing important works and powerful performers able to stand tall on any stage” – John McBeath, The Australian
