Bernard Labat 26/10/2017 17:18 Côte Sud 90.3 FM – Paris, France / *
“We have arrived at the Autumn and we all need to recharge the batteries. The days are shorter, take the opportunity to listen to music that lifts the spirits and leads us on groovy paths. Brown, Kelso, Denitz Martel and Ledbetter know how to do it. The funky jazz fusion dough is waiting for you. Difficult not to succumb to it. Do not pass by Slang, hard to resist.”
“Full of energy to listen urgently. We will not send Jazz Exiles into exile, and especially not far from our ears.
5 musicians at the top of their art. They also know how to charm us with Little Princess Aoife before setting off again with Boom Tune. Believe me you will regret nothing. Good listening.”

Bruno Pollacci 26/10/2017 18:31 Animajazz / Punto Radio, 91.6 FM – Pisa, Italy / *
“Mark kelso & The Jazz Exiles con il disco “Elementals” riescono ad esprimere un “funky-Jazz” fradevole e ricco di energia, con felici intuizioni musicali sia d’ensemble che personali, non rendendo mai banali e scontate tutte le composizioni di questo bel progetto discografico.

Larry Vidal 26/10/2017 19:15 Hayes FM 91.8 FM – Hayes, UK / *
“That’s more like it! Not too many people actually play the music that I LOVE to hear. A definite addition to the Good Groove Guide playlist roster. The opening track, Conor’s Crusade, has bite. Slank is a very interesting piece and I love the complexity of Time Piece. Boom Tune – the title says it all. Boom! Elementals Fire has all the right bits in the right places. This album is a great to listen to, and also interesting enough to listen to very closely in great detail. It’s all there. Recommended listening.”
