Niggli makes rhythms out of sequences of notes, sets them up on his drums, uses his playing to conduct behind the horns, bass, and a guitar, and steers with finesse, with pressure and fury. The music thus created peels out of itself, runs through itself, constantly transforms itself, grows out of itself, lifts off, puts up bridges across the entire twentieth century.» Peter Weber
