'Pig inside the Gentleman' continues on poetical path established by 1960s Polish Jazz classics like Krzysztof Komeda and Andrzej Kurylewicz. Strong and ferocious sound but at the same time with uplifting and inspiring film music-like themes.

Contemporary Noise Quintet is certainly not what the name implies. They play jazz in the way they think it should be played and that means infusing it with many idioms. But they do this with finesse, unparalleled skill and a great sense of humor. The quintet finds stimulus in their creative energies. In doing so, the let the rambunctious and the restrained make for mighty fine music.
Jerry D'Souza, AllAboutJazz

CNQ convinces straight away to have their own idea for music, which is not only attractive but also perfectly produced. “Pig Inside The Gentleman” is the record everyone should reach for, the one of the best Polish releases in 2006.

SOMETHING LIKE JAZZ Contemporary Noise Quintet – jazz music without jazz, film music without movie but something splendid instead! Despite the band’s name suggesting noisy music for the chosen ones, CNQ appears to be a revelation for everyone. Beautiful, hard, romantic piano tunes in the dialogue with brass section. Simple and extraordinary emotional compositions leading to the climax which makes the flesh creeps while listening. Hair bristle on the heads of those who remember the musical past of CNQ’s members…
Bartek Chacinski, Przekroj

Contemporary impresses with maturity and class. There’s elegance as well as punk energy. The compositions are unbelievably spacious but on the other hand all fulfilled with instruments – from the superb rhythm combo to the greatly equipped brass section. The roots of the most of CNQ’s musicians reach harder music, sometimes even heavy metal what bears excellent interest. The compositions are vigorous and expressive. The name of the band must be remembered because it undoubtedly is Polish export commodity.
