"The legends, with their dramas and demons, are the material the Pink Mountain Sagas draw on. A homecoming, an attempt and a temptation." (Johannes Rühl, liner notes)


"..rather, a deeper understanding of origin, heritage, roots, in short: of "home" resonates, which is only fully revealed in the process of alienation"
(Jazzthetik, 5 stars, Victoriah Szirmai)


"The interplay in the core trio is somnambulistically coherent, atmospheric and stylistically confident (…) An independent voice with a highly recognizable sound."
(Jazz N More-Tipp, 5 stars, Florian Bissig)


"the trio Buechi/Hellmüller/Jerjen was hailed by Swiss National Radio as the event of the year 2022. Now - with their new album ‘Pink Mountain Sagas’ - the band confirms their class…" (Dionizy Piatkowski, Era Jazzu, Poland, Oct 2024)


"..The music describes a search for home without any suspicion of kitsch; a wide sky stretches over the narrow valley." (Jazzpodium, Manfred Papst, Oct 2024)


".. With Sarah Buechi's Pink Mountain Sagas, the audience experienced stories from the imaginative world of legends, combined with beautiful music. Her spoken word singing was just as fascinating as her rhythmic melodies.." (Beat Eglin, Oberbaselbieter Zeitung, Feb 2025)
