"... when Eick does solo, it's with an economical precision that weaves through grooves and changes with equal aplomb ... a quantum leap, Skala's combination of melody-driven material and effortlessly tasteful contributions from a larger cast of characters confidently delivers on the promises made by The Door's compelling statement of intent."
- All About Jazz
On Skala, Norwegian trumpeter Mathias Eick extends the concept and the panoramic sweep of his highly-acclaimed ECM debut The Door, which was dubbed one of 2008's best releases by All About Jazz. Eick’s intensely melodic trumpet occupies the centre stage on this follow-up of original tunes which will appeal to an audience beyond jazz listeners. Against the powerful backdrops offered by his sleek, modern band, driven by two drummers, Eick delivers richly lyrical soliloquies.
