"L'originalité du discours, la recherche sonore et la puissante interaction dans l'improvisation collective font de Sidony Box un groupe majeur du jazz français d'aujourd'hui, en seulement deux ans d'existence."
- Jazz Magazine / Jazzman - CHOC !!!
"Sidony Box is a sensational young power jazz trio from France now touring Europe with the Bad Plus, whose music it has outclassed completely on only its second disc. The instrumentation is Elie Dalibert on alto saxophone, Manuel Adnot on guitar and Arthur Narcy on drums. The absence of a bass leaves wonderful room for gorgeous melodic lines, haunted guitar chords and constant dialogues with drummer Narcy. (…) It’s as creative as jazz but on the room-bashing volume level of rock ’n’ roll."

"Sidony Box boasts a style that melds jazz,
pop and hard, in-your-face rock, bursting with urgency —a blazing and
obstreperous crew. Even when the band drifts, it does so with a certain intensity, conjuring
images of a waning star emitting a cold, radiant electronic wave, on a drift
through deep space, and announcing that Sidony Box is a conglomerate with an
oddly metallic synchronicity."
- All About Jazz -
"Their music, which blends shoegaze and
modern prog-rock with jazz improvisation, feels expansive. “Pink Paradise’’ pleads
to be popped in a car stereo and played at high volume on the open road."
- The Boston Globe -
"By the time this complex and challenging
ride is over, musical categories lay in pieces on the Ground."
- Something Else! -
"This French power trio dishes up a very
satisfying blend of avant-jazz, prog-tinged rock, and free-ish improvisation,
with wonderful dynamics, brilliant instrumental interplay, lovely melodies, and
highly engaging guitar work by Adnot."
- Guitar Player -
"En explosant
les frontières musicales avec une cohérence remarquable, en suscitant un
imaginaire artistique, Sidony Box intègre et assimile avec une modernité
captivante l’art universel du trio. Il s’impose définitivement comme l’un des
groupes les plus intéressants du moment."

Les Dernières Nouvelles du Jazz -
"Les jeunes
nantais se posent avec culot en héritiers d’un jazz français «méchant»
et décomplexé."

Jazz Magazine - Révélation !!!
"L’écriture
cinématographique offre agencements harmoniques savants et goût pour une mise en
abyme inspirée. Avec Sidony Box, le futur sera crissant, ou ne sera pas."

Jazz News - Découverte !!!
"Rotzigkeit und
Tiefgang, das hierzulande 2011 beim von arte aufgezeichneten Festival Jazz d’Or
in Berlin zu bewundern war. Weitläufige Soundlandschaften, kraftvolle Soli und überschäumende
Spielfreude - von dieser quirligen Jazz-Neuentdeckung aus Frankreich wird noch
einiges zu hören sein, vor allem live!"
