We have received these reviews for Zero Sum World:
“Getting more and more out of this music every time I hear it.”
The Jazz Breakfast (full review)
“Guitarist Ant Law builds on the approach laid down in his debut album Entanglement, including dipping once again into the complex concepts of physics (which he studied at Edinburgh University) both for his title and some thematic compositional ideas.”
4 Stars, The Scotsman (full review)
“Law’s compositions strike that hard-to-find balance between tricky and catchy, and the players he has chosen, particularly the rising pianist Ivo Neame, are the sort of musicians who willingly embrace the fuzzy logic of improvisation.”
4 Stars, The Irish Times
“Law’s music has heart and warmth as well as brainy origins.”
