“Of the standards, Monk’s “Pannonica” and Parker’s “Segment” stand out. One of Veneziani’s best pieces is the shimmering, mid-tempo “Mark Rothko”, which features a solo introduction by the bassist.„
— Jon Ross - Downbeat
“The Italian, US resident double bassist/composer’s trio debut features his mentor Kenny Werner, and alternates between Monk-esque bop and something more meditative.„
— Selwyn Harris - Jazzwise
“Best of 2012.„
— Brent Black - Critical Jazz
“Top 10 Critics’ Choice 2012.„

“Each track is carefully crafted and possesses its own distinct character. Starting with the opening track, the project’s eponymous piece. A beautiful, harmonious, and warm start, reminiscent of a ray of sunshine gently touching the listener’s face. This harmony is the guiding thread of The Lighthouse, accompanying the listener throughout the entire project before fading away at the end of the captivating Shunting Line. Eleven years of waiting that were more than worth it after listening to this delightful and melodious second album from Andrea Veneziani.„
