“The group is an excellent example of where the young modern jazz is at right now. They have accomplished their own sound where the guitar and the saxophone lay out a soft web of sound on top of the walking bass line and the reflective drumming. The beautiful guitar really stands on its own. Olding moves around lyrically with a strong feeling for melody. [...] A curious listener shouldn't walk by Olding's gang which really is one of the most interesting new additions to the scene from the last couple of years.” Göran Olson” DIG jazz (Sweden’s leading web based jazz magazine)

“Olding's playing and writing is solid on every tune...No Space is a strong outing for the Olding. It is a showcase for his strong compositional and arranging techniques, as well as his ability to lead an ensemble by example in every note he plays.” Matthew Warnock “All About Jazz, US
