The arrangements are very elegant and interesting, typical of European Big Band approach, which treats the Big Band as a complex instrument. […] Very impressive for a debut album and definitely worth getting!” Adam Baruch, The Soundtrack of my life
“Med “Out of the Shadows” viser Rasmus Henriksen en original og personlig tilgang til harmonik og orkestrering, inspireret af nogle af orkesterjazzens mere obskure genier. Udgivelsen er bemærkelsesværdig, både i kraft af Henriksens gennemarbejdede kompositioner og i kraft af den tydelige retning han udstikker for orkesterets ensemblespil.” Peter Jensen, komponist og arrangør, 2016
