"Filip Dinev showcases his fearless approach to the modern guitar trio format on Romann, encapsulating distinct elements of the Balkan heritage on each track, including our selection, “Morgenland.” - Jazziz Magazine

"
The virtuosity is impressive but a lot of fun, particularly the pointillist attacks that pepper the rhythm section with aural shrapnel, and the trio do seem willing to give anything a try as they gradually return to an original motif like a particularly well-thrown boomerang." - FREQ

"Improvisation, the joy of unpredictability and natural limits as a creative starting point - Filip Dinev, together with drummer Dani Arday and bassist Pierre Martin, impressively explains his personal credo on his debut album." - Jazz Moves Hamburg
