The latest acclaim for "Dreams, Thoughts & Poetry" (The Music of Enrico Pieranunzi):

"Intruiging and exciting ... a very inventive approach from an unexpected angle that works very well."
- Enrico Pieranunzi (quote from the liner notes)

"Somsen leads his band beautifully, whilst being absorbed in his own bass playing. Like the rest of all band members, his highly creative and virtuoso bass soloing stands out. The warm and vulnerable sound of the flugelhorn is most distinguished. The contemporary touch of the music is created by the electric guitar’s (garage) effects. The moments of Free Jazz adds contrary contrast to the lyrical compositions ... an excellent concert."
- Charlie Crooymans (Dutch Radio 6, concert review showcase program Dutch Jazz Day 2011)
