“A fanciful kaleidoscope of sound that blends composed and improvised music with jazz fusion, traditional jazz, Americana, Western swing, rock, Middle-Eastern and Asian music, symphonic music, and even shades of psychedelia that are deliciously adventurous yet always musical.” – Strings Magazine 

“The adventurous music is launched immediately with the title track, Strum, and listeners are propelled into the wondrous megalopolis of inharmonicity. Here a microcosmic world of frequencies of overtones detonates a multitude of tonal atoms buzzing and chattering melodically, harmoniously, inharmoniously, and rhythmically in quantum packets of songful sunbursts of music. In short, the excellent album of songs – Strum – by 9 Horses is like an elegant railway system linking jazz, folk and the chamber music style of the serialist and post-serialist 20th century conservatoire. But to describe it as such gives the impression of overcooking when it is a masterpiece of subtlety. This is not only mind-bending music where nothing is exaggerated of overly mannered; tempo, ensemble, and balance – all seem effortlessly and intuitively right.” – Raul da Gama
