Andrea Veneziani - Bass player - Composer

“Andrea Veneziani’s compositions are imaginative and lively, often constructed on the basis of danceable rhythms, and at the same time profound and trivial.

A mature and established composer and performer. I wish Oltreoceano will not be the last encounter with this talented musician.„

— Leonid Auskern - Jazz-Quad

“Oltreoceano is the type of record that will keep you interested from start to finish. Veneziani does a wonderful job, providing contrast and excitment in his repertoire. His trio features some of the modern jazz scenes finest musicians, making this record one certainly not to disappoint. Veneziani and the gang have accomplished what all musicians hope to share with their audience: creative, honest and genuine music.„

— Brent Vaartstra - Learn Jazz Standards

“The musical dialogue between Kenny Werner and Andrea Veneziani appears to be very balanced.

The album appears to reflect at its core the spirit of Monk, Evans and Parker.„

— Ferdinand Dupuis - Jazz’Halo
