"Jazz van de bovenste plank. De band 3’Ain heeft met ‘Sea of stories’ een heel fraai debuutalbum uitgebracht. De muzikanten Yamen Martini (trompet), Piet Maris (accordeon) en Otto Kint (contrabas) zorgen voor een intense en boeiende luistetrip met knappe en aanstekel k muziek die niet toevallig in Oostende is opgenomen."

"Jazz of the highest order. With "Sea of stories", the band 3'Ain has released a very good first album. Musicians Yamen Martini (trumpet), Piet Maris (accordion) and Otto Kint (double bass) offer an intense and captivating journey with intelligent and infectious music that was not recorded in Ostend by chance ."

"Het album bevat 7 nummers waarin het solospel van de trompet vaak centraal staat, dat regelmatig wordt vastgeklonken aan de accordeon."

"The album contains 7 songs that often focus on the solo playing of the trumpet, which is frequently riveted to the accordion."

Björn Comhaire about the album Sea of Stories by 3'Ain at Luminous Dash:

"The album contains seven tracks that often center on the solo playing of the trumpet, which is frequently riveted to the accordion. The melodic double bass lines are the glue that holds the two together and puts a soothing salve over (or under) the reed and wind instrument."

"Op 21 april verschijnt het debuutalbum ‘Sea Of Stories’, opgenomen in de Studio van De Grote Post (Oostende). De muziek van 3’Ain verwijst geregeld naar de omgeving en de sfeer van de plaats waar ze creëren, in de haven van Oostende, vandaar ook de vooruitgeschoven single ‘Scrambled Ensor’."
