press quotes

“… on this record (“Woandering”), the piano is hardly ever content with merely accompanying, and the exercise of improvising is brought to a level of language and mutual listening on which boredom not once arises…”

- Franck Bergerot, Jazz Magazine

“This arrangement of Michael Jackson’s hyper-emotional ballad [ She's Out of My Life ] (“Off the Wall,” 1979) won’t possibly leave you indifferent.”

- Jazz Magazine’s “playlist” article

"Autumn Leaves [...] began with a solo performance of Funnell on keyboard who was joined by Horii on cajon and the magic of their music slowly took over the venue. The duo [...] seemed to be in tune with each other while playing and it was evident in their music. Their synchronization, captivating dedication [...] and the whole repertoire as a result, hooked the audience to them."

- HNS, The Himalayan Times

"[ Jim Funnell’s ] music is the singular result of a thorough reflection on rhythms, sounds, and colors."

- Guillaume Lagrée, Le jars jase jazz

"Music that breathes, pulsates, bifurcates, trifles. That is unclassifiable and played with exquisite delicacy, in the course of sly improvisations. Elaborate yet sincere and spontaneous all the while. AfuriKo is an absolutely atypical duo. […] I urge you to discover them and slowly enter their world."

- M. M., Afrique Asie

"These young musicians (Word Out) are simply fresh, alive, curious, open-minded, joyful, and listening to their music does heaps of good."

- Guillaume Lagrée, Le jars jase jazz

“There are pianists like Jim Funnell that are little heard and spoken of, and have plenty of wonderful stories to tell. « I said somewhere that it is not enough to listen to music: it should also be seen. » Igor Stravinsky. Jim Funnell evokes these kinds of impressions with his trio. For this reason, he should be seen and heard as soon as possible.”

- Guillaume Lagrée, Le jars jase jazz

"Led by Anglo-French charismatic pianist and inspired composer Jim Funnell, Word Out offers sophisticated yet accessible worlds."

- Basem Shalabi, L'Echo Républicain

“Jim Funnell’s melodic subtlety on the piano [...] portends a most luminous future.”

- Jazz Magazine online edition

"Jim Funnell’s electric keyboard solo builds masterfully from a motive first introduced by Fuze into a kaleidoscope of shifting block chordal progressions."

- Thomas R. Erdmann, jazzreview.com

"Jim Funnell executed a hugely energized solo on organ during "The Heathen" causing wild shouts of approval from the crowd."

- Lucie Wicker, BostonLive.net concert review
