"Yamen blendt westerse en oosterse klanken met zijn trompet, net zoals Otto op zijn zelf ineen geknutselde contrabas voor de nodige diepgang zorgt. Maris zorgt dan met zijn accordeon voor een zigeunereske sfeer. Knap!"

"Yamen blends western and eastern sounds with his trumpet, just as Otto provides the necessary depth on his self-assembled double bass. Maris then creates a gipsy-esque atmosphere with his accordion."

"Jazz van de bovenste plank. De band 3’Ain heeft met ‘Sea of stories’ een heel fraai debuutalbum uitgebracht.
