“It is a name within the South American jazz movement installed in Europe”
“Since 2010 I have been impressed by Pablo Sáez’s work in every collaboration, I have participated several times in many of his projects. His artistic quality has always led to excellent results, as well as being able to get through professional planning and implementation”
“He is clearly looking toward the future—and that is where he places his music: surprising, enigmatic, and full of unexpected turns.” Jacek Brun
“Drummer Sáez ultimately satisfied even the most discerning listeners with his nuanced and varied performance.”
“Sáez has built his story in that other, distant world—yet his connection to the land remains present, rhetorical, and above all, musical.”
“Pablo Sáez is an outstanding rhythm maker, equally skilled in subtle strokes and powerful accents—providing the perfect foundation for guitar, bass, and piano to truly shine. Balanced in ensemble sound, and captivating in solo passages.”
“An exciting and progressive form of jazz with indigenous Latin influences, occasionally interwoven with mysterious Spanish-language vocals. Verdict: exceptional!”
— Reiner Guérich
“The Latin American rhythm section, featuring André De Cayres and Henrique Gomide from São Paulo alongside the exceptional Chilean drummer Pablo Sáez, masterfully finds the perfect groove for each piece—always ready to respond with playful energy to the fiery solos.” WAZ
“One of the most sought-after drummers today, he impressed with an incredibly nuanced and versatile style. Equally remarkable was the song-like quality he often infused into his playing. His compositions are characterized by a coherent structure that balances subtle sensitivity with rich, dense sound.” Peter Lorber
“So, which personal musical events have moved me the most? Certainly, some releases by relatively unknown artists—like Morpheus Trance with In Trance We Trust, and Stay Together by Surensemble and Friends—both from the realm of fusion jazz.” Wolfgang Giese 2024
