Klaus Suonsaari's concern with sound and balance extend to the ensemble as well. Critic Jon Pareles, writing in the New York Times, stated that ,,Mr. Suonsaari fulfilled one of a bandleader's most important duties: choosing his group members well." Here Klaus has gathered one well-chosen assemblage of top American performers, and another consisting of respected players from his homeland, with the aim of bridging the gap between continents, and revealing the commonality of intent among European and American jazz artists. Klaus succeeds as a leader because of his sense of balance and his ability to find common ground between seemingly different elements. Tradition and originality... the European and American aesthetic... lyric beauty and freewheeling expressionism (,,Song For S.R." is a glorious example)... Klaus always finds ,,something in common" with which to engage the listener. Mike Mainieri appears by courtesy of NYC Records. Niels Lan Doky is currently an exclusive recording artist on EMI/Blue Note.

La preocupación de Klaus Suonsaari por el sonido y el equilibrio se extiende también al conjunto. El crítico Jon Pareles, escribiendo en el New York Times, afirmó que "el Sr. Suonsaari cumplió con uno de los deberes más importantes de un director de banda: elegir bien a los miembros de su grupo". En este caso, Klaus ha reunido un conjunto bien elegido de intérpretes estadounidenses de primera fila, y otro formado por respetados músicos de su país, con el objetivo de tender un puente entre continentes, y revelar las intenciones comunes de los artistas de jazz europeos y estadounidenses. Klaus triunfa como líder por su sentido del equilibrio y su capacidad para encontrar un terreno común entre elementos aparentemente diferentes. Tradición y originalidad... la estética europea y americana... la belleza lírica y el expresionismo libre (,,Song For S.R." es un ejemplo glorioso)... Klaus siempre encuentra,,algo en común" con lo que enganchar al oyente. Mike Mainieri aparece por cortesía de NYC Records. Niels Lan Doky es actualmente un artista que graba en exclusiva para EMI/Blue Note.
