DAY & TAXI // Christoph Gallio soprano, alto & c-melody saxophone / Silvan Jeger double bass, electric bass, voice, sequenzer / Gerry Hemingway drums & percussion

DAY & TAXI since the early 90s is one of the most consistent and truthful of European groups. 'DEVOTION', the new DAY &TAXI record, successor to the excellent WAY, is another set of taut, well-structured sketches and miniatures...the recruitment of Gerry Hemingway seems to have opened up a whole new direction for the group, which is great to hear. JAZZ JOURNAL, BRIAN MORTON, LONDON

DAY & TAXI, this trio remains one of Europe's best kept secrets. DOWNTOWN MUSIC GALLERY, BRUCE LEE GALLANTER, NEW YORK CITY

... eine sehr stake, auch emotional anrührende Musik. BERT NOGLIK, LEIPZIG

I've long been a fan, and 'WAY' is a striking, beautifully-conceived album. All compositions are by the leader, and they're succinct and pellucidly-structured – as are his improvisations. ... Gallio is his own man, and a real musical thinker. Bassist Jeger and drummer Meier are simpatico partners. ***** JAZZ JOURNAL, ANDY HAMILTON, LONDON

30 Jahre Entwicklung hat Gallio mit seinen Kameraden zurückgelegt. Was dabei entstanden ist, könnte man mit musikalischer Weisheit in ständig wechselnder Gestalt bezeichnen. MATHIAS BÄUMEL, DRESDEN
