“Irini’s ethereal voice is really exciting when she’s improvising. ...The result, reflected in the group’s debut album, is characterized by an intense element of lyricism, embellished with unexpected rhythmic variations and an almost pagans mystic dynamism.” - NIKOS FOTAKIS - JAZZ & TZAZ MAGAZINE - July/Aug 2012

“An album that’s flowing like water right through the spring of classical jazz.” - MAKIS MILATOS - ATHENS VOICE - “ALBUMS OF THE YEAR 2012”

“Open melodies, that follow the pattern of “European” style (the french, let’s say in the warmer moments or the nordic climate in the cooler ones,...)...” - PHONTAS TROUSSAS - JAZZ & TZΑZ MAGAZINE - Feb 2012

“This debut CD of a Greek quartet promises to offer atmospheric jazz with lyricism and fascinating improvisations... something like an invitation to a velvet, internal shelter.” - MADAME FIGARO MAGAZINE (GR) - Feb 2012

The ethereal vocals, the atmospheric sound, and the powerful improvisations in the 10 original songs of the album (music: Thanos Hatzianagnostou - lyrics: Irini Konstantinidi) set the style of the group, which is influenced by the sound of the European jazz scene.

The Debut album of The Wonderfall Quartet (2011) established the band as a new fresh and creative voice in the Greek Jazz scene.
