“Stepping Forward shows that he [Thimo Niesterok] is not only one of the most important young representatives of mainstream swing, but that he also surrounds himself with exactly the musicians that are needed for an authentic presentation of this music.”
– JAZZTHETIK 05/06-2024 (Rolf Thomas) (translated from German)
“He belongs to the young generation of jazz musicians who are open to all directions. Modern languages and styles are just as important to young musicians like him as the masters from long ago. And because the world is full of echoes, it is also worth listening to Thimo Niesterok as he looks for traces.”
– NDR Jazzalbum der Woche, 04.01.2024 (Michael Laages) about Stepping Forward (translated from German, follow link for original)
“A superbly swinging album, brilliantly orchestrated, played and recorded. The leader plays the trumpet as if by magic. Thimo Niesterok has not created a new style of jazz, but he has given us and will continue to give us a variety of experiences at the highest artistic level. Pure jazz experiences!”
– Jazz-Fun.de Magazin für Jazz Musik, 21.12.2023 about Stepping Forward (translated from German, follow link for original)
“His new album is exceptional – not only in terms of the line-up. The title track, Thimo’s own composition “Stepping Forward”, captivates the listener with an incredible drive.
From lyrical-feeling to swinging-virtuosic, he effortlessly plays the entire range of the classical jazz trumpet – only Thimo’s live concerts can beat that!”
– Chris Hopkins
“Music just for the sake of music – it is wonderful to hear with how great respect and love for our musical ancestors Thimo and the fantastic colleagues Thilo Wagner, Rolf Marx and Henning Gailing play together in such a fresh, spontaneous and communicative way – and of course swing incredibly! Thank you, Thimo, for the wonderful music!”
– Paul Heller (WDR Radio Big Band Cologne)
“Thimo Niesterok’s new album “Stepping Forward” swings like hell – playing at the highest level, of course!”
– Joscho Stephan
