Quotes:
"As many times you listen to them u still can not believe that such a band exist on a music scene! It's a band which will bring jazz to Top 40! Enough sitting in jazz clubs... Soil and "Pimp" Sessions will make u dance to serious jazz! Warrior energy and poet sensibility! This guys are Jedis of jazz music!"
(Eddy Meets Yannah - Compost Rec.)
“Soil & Pimp Sessions playing tightly-crafted tunes in a mostly-acoustic style, but grooving with a hard, soulful dancefloor energy that's amazing. Intense work from one of the most incredible club jazz groups around, a combo so great, so fierce, Soil & Pimp have a sound that grasps you right away, an incredibly precise approach to jazz, one that has them riffing away with an intensity that recalls some of the big groups from the 70s soul jazz scene but which seems to blow even them away with sheer ferocity.”
