Tone Janša is without doubt one of the most promising jazz musicians in our country. He represents a new trend, which one readily recognizes after having listened to his music. His music is fresh, dynamic, and modally as well as rhythmically very interesting. He composes and plays his own music.

JANEZ GREGORC

Down Beat (USA)
Yugoslavian saxophonist Tone Janša, who has studied at Berklee College owes much to Trane-ish manner of building a solo use of trills, some of his phrasing -yet there often is not- Trane-ish edge to his tone a bite that owes a little to Eastern European folk reed instruments.

Mid-Day (Bombay-India)
Tone Janša a big name in Yugoslavian jazz made his mark on Yatra by his well knit coordination with his quartet and his original compositions. This was a group that didn't belive doing their own thing at the expense of the audience but concentrated instead on murmuring into a pleasant whole.

Neue Zaitschrift fur musick (BRD)
Den zweiten Abend (Beim  Burghausener jazz Festival) eroffnete internationale Gruppe um den jugoslawischen Saxophonisten Tone Janša. Die Stucke des Quartetts sind durchwegs Eigenkompositionen von Tone Janša, die stilistisch im modalen Bereich angesiedelt sind, durch die Einbeziehung von der Musik vieler jungerer Gruppen unterscheiden. Unuberhorbar der Einfluss der jugoslawischen Folklore die der Music von Tone Janša einen eigenwilligen Charakter verleit.

Neue Zeit (Austria)
Perfektion un Lockerheit. Es ist relativ selten dass vier Musiker dermassen aufeinander eintugehen verstehen eine Ausgewogenhiet war die Folge, die als Basis fur Janšas weitlaufige Improvisationen diente. Das vielzitierte Zusammentreffen bzw. Spielfreude wurde von dem Quartet uberzeugend zum Leben erweckt. Janšas eruptive Klangkaskaden wirbelten um die Holzkonstruktion des Raumes. Soli und kompaktes Zusammenspiel erganzten sich ungezwungen in logischer Folge.

Jazz B. Berlin
Ein 50 minutiges "Hormusik" Solo
An sudslawischer Folklore orientierte Quartett des jugoslawischen Saxophonisten Tone Janša verband in seinem Spiel Virtuositat und kreative improvisationen aufs das glucklichste.

Jazzpodium (BRD)
In seiner Stilistik und Spielauffasung sowohl auf dem Sopranals auf dem Tenorsaxophon, das in seiner auselrichen Abgenutzheit von einer bewegten instrumenten vergangenheit zeugt, verdankt Tone, gegen wartig mit zahlreichen Rundfuk-und Festivalengegements sicherlich einer der richtungsweisenden Jazzmusiker seines Landes, viel John Coltrane, mit dem er sich durch technische Perfektion, souverane Pharsierung, figural arabeske Solodurchfuhrung und fast hymnisch anmutende Expressivitat verbunde wiess.
