  Alex Riel 'Rielatin'
In 1996 Alex Riel and Stunt won a Danish Grammy for the cd "The Riel Deal", and for a couple of weeks "Unriel" from 1997 was in the Ame- rican jazz charts, which is highly unusual for European jazz recordings.
For Alex Riel it was natural to continue his collaboration with the musicians from the previous projects.
The result is probably the most perfect of all Alex Riel's recordings, characterized by musical playfulness and respect for the tradition in an astonishing interaction among some of the world's greatest musicians.

Riel is an exceptional timekeeper and unique in that he is able to create improvisations within a steady rhythmic framework that is intense and frenetic.
Gomez contributed "Amethyst," a tender ballad with Bergonzi waxing poetic; the lone standard "Moment's Notice" gives further beef to the contention that John Coltrane is the number one figurehead in this contemporary jazz movement.
It's clear these are experts in their field, and Riel is comfortably in their league.

As for Riel and Lundgaard, they are twin pillars of tastefulness and talent, thoroughly at ease in every situation and always ready to maximize the trio's rhythmic impact.
Like Werner, Lundgaard is a nimble and expressive soloist (his arco statement on “Bye Bye Blackbird” is especially engaging), and Riel has his shining moments as well, most notably on “Blackbird,” “Autumn Leaves” and “You and the Night and the Music.” But this is primarily a group effort, and one that seldom fails to please.

In this performance, Riel has both given and received a spectacular present.
His classical expositions -- from his cadenza on "Autumn Leaves" to his solo rendition of Bach's "Siciliana," an homage to Riel -- reveal a profound understanding of how to draw from that intellect and sensitivity within the spectrum of jazz.
Lundgaard follows in the steps of Paul Chambers and Milt Hinton, and has mastered the contradictory art of cementing motion; while Riel is the consummate bandleader, filling the gaps and complementing his musicians' every thought.

 2001 Ekapa Lodumo Review
First, veteran drummer Alex Riel, a proven master of hard bop and big band percussion, simply cannot fit his stylish swing (along the lines of Mel Lewis,) seamlessly to the the two mid-tempo tracks.
No doubt fans of this music have become accustomed to the floating lift supplied by the numerous African drummers and others but the able enough Riel sounds exposed on the two aforementioned tracks.
After a soft guitar chord, Riel and percussionist Jose Cortijo hook up a lilting veldt vamp and a solo flute -with Ellingtonesque coloration tracking it- seemingly discover the theme.
