“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
“A solid, sitting down jazz debut, he teams with Kenny Werner, who brings the chops to keep the wheels on the track, and art is born.„
— Chris Spector - Midwest Record
“Veneziani is a wonderful bass player.„
— Charles L. Latimer - I Dig Jazz
“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
“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
