Reviews:

“The `Working Band`of the saxophone and cello player Matthias Petzold played this kind of funk music in a spirited and convincing manner... Powerful pieces like `Dragon City`or lyrical ones like `Summertime`, a song heard a thousand times, but presented here in a new and surprising manner, show a lot of craftmanship and sensibility and a band, that plays really together.” (“Jazzpodium”)

“The saxophone player and composer Matthias Petzold has a fine talent to put together funky grooves. With his “Working Band”, which consists of some of the finest musicians of the rhenanian Jazz szene, Petzold serves on the debut-CD of his seven-piece band modern Jazz-compositions, that are marked by beautiyful melodic lines and inspired soloists, that find their ways starting with the relaxed grooves of the rhythm section.” (“Feedback”)

”There´s a lot of variety on the CD - but throughout it has a light , summerly swinging mood, that makes the CD a perfect whole.” (“Brigitte”)
