“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

All About Jazz Italia
Very comfortable technically, Hans Olding knows not to overdo it, which
favors a homogeneous group sound. With a very rhythmic drummer and
bassist, Hans Olding moves between “heavy and light”, at times reminiscent
of Abercrombie and Scofield, in the 80s.

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.”
