[Le Gauthier Toux Trio] délivre une musique d’une étonnante intensité (...) dont l’effet de séduction est immédiat (...) Voilà une formation qu’on a envie de découvrir sur scène tant on pressent qu’elle est en mesure de faire parler la poudre. Et puis disons les choses simplement :Unexpected Things est un disque assez majestueux qui en impose... Denis Desassis
