"Nabatov is quite simply one of the finest improvising pianists in Europe."
-Jazz UK 

"Preternaturally talented."
-The New York City Jazz Records

"A masterfully inventive pianist, Nabatov drills his fluid thought processes and clever inventions into the broad realm of modern-day jazz and improvisation. To say that his music is adventurous would be an understatement. His music, which mixes together written-out sections with free improvising, is eccentric and sometimes demented."
- All About Jazz
