Andrea Veneziani

Oltreoceano is a stunning debut and should quickly have Veneziani as a bassist to watch in the near future. Andrea Veneziani is far more than the next flavor of the month hanging out in odd meter or getting bogged down in a variation on the speed is king mentality. Veneziani is a prolific talent both as an instrumentalist and as a composer and Oltreoceano is indeed one of the very finest trio releases for the year.„

— Brent Black - Critical Jazz

“This is a good record.„

— Olli Ervasti - Jazz Rytmit

“Repertoire well conceived, musicians in great shape and a vibrant interplay make Oltreoceano a fine work, which reconciles with the formula of the piano trio, too often left at the mercy of clichés and tedious solutions.„

— Roberto Paviglianiti - All About Jazz Italia

“The Andrea Veneziani Trio, with the Italian bassist joined by pianist Kenny Werner and drummer Ross Pederson, exudes great spirit amidst dynamic interplay on the self-produced Oltreoceano.

This calling card of an album makes for most enjoyable listening, and is worth seeking out, particularly for jazz piano trio fans.„

— Stuart Kremsky - International Association of Jazz Record Collectors

“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
