"1000 Miles Away" has got a nice response and Belgian radiochannel RTBF reviewed it shortly : "The nice spring "jazz-jazz" surprise in Belgium is the release of the first album by saxophonist Andy Declerck and guitarist Kari Antila, sharing a quartet with bassist Wim Ramon and drummer Toon Van Dionant. The latter could very well be the Jan De Haas of his generation. Mainstream modern jazz is the topic here, with well rounded-out compositions, spiced with to the point soli. The pleasant tenor sonority of Andy Declerck is well ahead his years, and Kari Antila displays some well-delivered methenesque spirit. See the details on their site www.adkagroup.com." (Philippe Baron, RTBF,2007)
