The music of GLOTZE is new, challenging and powerfully clever. The three of them work very closely together in this music, which is difficult to play and opens up ever more coherent horizons. One grows from a certain degree of excessive demands. Orthodoxy is not the measure of all things. Provoke, pronounce and be on the way. This music has contour and consistency, it is precisely constructed and becomes more plausible with every listen. Nothing perceived covers up what is unique in this urgently pressing research work on sounds that condense into an astonishing relevance. Simple truths are not enough. GLOTZE unsettles, opens doors behind which new ideas keep popping up. It is not satisfied, wants more, is intense, structured and challenging. This is a new band, emphatic, rough and fresh. New music far removed from routine, fresh and cheeky, exploratory and demanding. There were certainties yesterday. Let's go. What remains is sensuality and emotionality. GLOTZE pushes us out of our comfort zones and invites us into the open." (Ulrich Steinmetzger about GLOTZE I) "Wumm! No pleasantries. This is definitely not the soundtrack for the showcase of bourgeois complacency in jazz form. The Leipzig band Glotze get straight to the point: shrill, loud, drastic, penetrating, rebellious and provocative - all in the best sense of creative indecency." (Wolf Kampmann about GLOTZE II)
