“Max Luthert  consolidates his position as an increasingly in-demand sideman, with the likes of Zara McFarlane and Partikel, and now bandleader with the release of his debut Orbital, which showcases his wide harmonic and melodic ideas as a composer.” - Jazzwise

“Luthert has a fine sense of time and a big jazz vocabulary at his disposal, his modernistic sound encompassing the bass tradition that stretches from Richard Davis to Dave Holland.” - Marlbank
