Sounds Like: "... His playing, located between Hot and Be Bop, stands for intensity and improvisation, his sound is amazingly mature and unique for his young age... 'Wild Jazz' by the likes of Charles Mingus or Thelonious Monk with all its harmonic twists and turns seems to suit Salesny better than the more harmless regions of mainstream... As a co-initiator of Jazzwerkstatt, Salesny is also part of a young community that gives new impulses to the jazz-scene in a proactive way." (Denise Riedlinger, jazzzeit)
