“Veneziani is a wonderful bass player.„
— Charles L. Latimer - I Dig Jazz
“Veneziani conceived a mature album, where the trio develops a complex and open conversation based on contemporary forms as well as on elaborations of tunes of the jazz tradition.
Substantially, we hear that modern way to conceive jazz that could be defined outside of any style, but it’s well conscious of its linguistic origins.„
— Maurizio Franco - Musica Jazz
“The Best Jazz of 2012. Acoustic Bass Album and New Talent.„
— Arnaldo DeSouteiro - Jazz Station
“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
“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.„
