Album DescriptionEuropean top jazz journalists voted II one of the best albums of the year, and described the music of [em] as the "future sound of jazz."Winner of the prestigious Ronnie Scott Jazz Award 2007 for Most Promising International Newcomer of the Year."This second [em] album shows signs of artistic growth from their debut album and confirms the early impression that Wollny could well become a major talent in European jazz." -- Jazzwise "[em] II announces the arrival of a major young band...the faultlessly fluent drummer Eric Schaefer locks onto Eva Kruse's popping basslines by way of nodding to hip-hop and drum'n' bass, while Michael Wollny on piano uses space and dynamics to frame the endless flow of ideas from his restless imagination." -- The Observer
