"Mauro Senise has always been a reference for me among Brazilian instrumentalists. His sonority is unequalled and fluctuates according to the score, from the softest sounds, that he like no one else can extract from the tenor saxophone, to the rhythmic contours of the score. Tenderness then gives way to a tellurian sound, coming from the depths of the earth, and none the least beautiful because of that."
