"The most beautiful contribution came from Armenian pianist Tigran Hamasyan," says Die Welt in a review of the ceremony. "His song 'Lilac' floated like a lotus on clear water and led you to believe that jazz could have a golden future."

"You will find it difficult if not impossible to get this disc out of your machine for quite a while," raved the Buffalo News of Mockroot. "Don’t count on getting it out of your head for a long while either." To pick up a copy of the album, head to iTunes or the Nonesuch Store now.

Among the other winners at the ECHO Jazz 2016 Awards were James Farm, named International Ensemble of the Year for its second album, City Folk, and Brad Mehldau, who received a Sonderpreis ("special prize") for his box set 10 Years Solo Live.
