The newspaper Bergens Tidende:
Playfull (...) Excellent piano trio The Norwegian Jazz Magazine JAZZNYTT: “If you are amongst those who likes to kick back in a deep cozy chair after a long and full day, and put on Keith Jarrett's "The melody at night with you" or Bugge Wesseltofts, "It´s snowing on my piano" and think...."ahh... this is happiness", then Bill Risby Trio's album "Looking Up" might be a good alternative. From time to time there is much more drive and variation on "Looking up" compared to the mentioned above exquisite titles, but jazz-pianist Risby manages through his melodic compositions and accessible piano manouvering to make a smooth and comfortable atmosphere. This Australian piano-player, who guested at Hr. Nilsen jazz venue mid march 06, gets good qualified help on this record by Gary Holgate on bass, and Hamish Stuart on drums”
