"Simin Tander is a polyglot German-Afghan singer who combines the fierce creativity of Meredith Monk with the jazz savvy of Gretchen Parlato."

Her timbre, flexibility, ability to improvise and her sensitivity for tempo and harmony are amazing.“ Jazzenzo (NL) "The audience was amazed when the Simin Tander 4tet staged its: (...) tenderly pure jazz with Simin’s mysterious, soul-touching, pellucid wordless singing and devoted performance (…)" Delta Bridges (China) "Simin sang with so much feeling that the snow began to melt outside." Het Parool (NL) "Tander brings refreshing innovation to a modern jazz vocal panorama awash with repetition and weary imitation. Her voice is a thing of beauty, and this debut not only offers the promise of great things to come, but delivers from the get go."
