Lp '67, reissue Tom Prehn Quartet 2001

John Corbett, liner notes:
The music on this record is startlingly original… decades later it is still a remarkable document, effectively merging jazz energy with characteristics that wouldn't fully emerge in European free music until later in its development…. and the importance of the modernist tradition makes itself heard… a document that should force free music aficionados to rethink familiar maps 34-years later.

Dan Warburton, Paris Transatlantic Magazine:
And what a find! Tom Prehn reveals himself to be a singularly original pianist … Prehn's playing partners were equally open-minded musically.

… mens Prehn og Vangs flydende rytmik sender dette nummer op i verdensklasse.
Det er meget stærke sager.
Det er dansk kulturhistorie der skrives her. Kvartetten holdt til i kulturhuset Vestergade 58 i Århus, hvor den senere skuespiller Jens Okking var leder og havde inviteret dem indenfor. Han “producerede” pladen og gav dem et fast øve- og spillested …

Axiom, LP '63 – CD 2015:
… in the space of over 50 years, the music still sounds remarkably fresh – an early, striking, and stunning example of the way that the European avant jazz scene was not only overtaking the American one, but also providing the kind of energy that would be a key inspiration for artists like Albert Ayler or Cecil Taylor!
