This is now the most complete trio Nock has had since returning to Australia 32 years ago.
John Shand, Sydney Morning Herald, 9 July 2017

In a 60-year career, he has done everything and triumphantly stayed at the vanguard of jazz's evolution.
Eric Myers, The Australian, 10 July 2017

Having heard Nock’s music for many years – and being aware of his genius as a composer, arranger and player – I found it amazing to see him perform live for the first time. He proved he could build from a platform, adding layers and textures – working with minimalism, classical, jazz and noiresque soundscapes to show that many colours can be conjured from the keys of a piano.
Simon Sweetman, The Dominion Post, Wellington NZ Nov 12, 2007

Piano maestro and winner of this year’s ARIA jazz award, Mike Nock led his trio in a dazzling performance at the Wangaratta Festival of Jazz.
John McBeath, The Australian Nov 6, 2007

... impressed me greatly. Mike Nock was creating very musical things. It won't be long before he'll make a mark.
Pianist Bill Evans, in Downbeat (US) 1970
