"...Debut album by one of the most interesting ensembles active on the burgeoning Israeli scene...These young and talented players combine their forces to create some of the most advanced and adventurous music ever played in the Holy Land..."

Adam Baruch- Jazzis (www.jazziz.com) Press for full review

"…In Between leans more towards the new music pole, but offers many adventurous and enjoyable improvised passages. Katz is a very talented storyteller who knows how to assemble drama, humor, sorrow, joy and optimism into thoughtful compositions. His work is well structured, but offers plenty of personal space to all three musicians…"

"…How much the Third Stream composers are insane? This is a question that would be asked in a wider historical perspective, but there are few answers we already get, while listening to the first and the excellent album of the Chameleon Trio- "In Between"…"
 

Asher Kesher- "Kol Hazman" newspaper

"…What is most alarming about the group's debut, In Between, is the range of emotions that it explores. Katz's compositions are witty and ingratiating, and the players clearly have a sense of humor…In Between is a beautiful, deeply felt work. Unlike the animal that bears its name, the Chameleon Trio is destined to stand out from the crowd, both in Israel and abroad…"

"…This album is neither an alibi nor a report. It's an art of music presented to the listener by Chameleon Trio… Fiery enthusiasm with original ideas and fresh interpretations make the music live and breathtaking… "
 

Michael Feldman, "Sabres" radio station (www.sabresradio.co.il)

"The Chameleon Trio, "In Between." This new album by flautist Dvir Katz, clarinetist Nitai Levi and bassist Ora Boasson-Horev illuminates an important aspect of what is happening in Jerusalem's jazz scene… The Chameleon Trio's complex music can be categorized as "third stream," a combination of jazz and classical music, and as might be expected, it has a serious, even ponderous element. Fortunately, this is well-balanced by captivating demonstrations of humor, playfulness and joy"
