about

...il risultato è davvero eccellente. Il quartetto si muove con grande sicurezza, guidato con mano sicura da Petrella che non sembra davvero un giovane alle sue prime esperienze come leader.
Gerlando Gatto, Black in Radio

Trombonist Gianluca Petrella and his quartet work in a more flexible musical territory, moving in unrestrained fashion between structure and freedom, and between time and no time. They do it with great skill and invention, and the music is very appealing. The unusual combination of horns gives the ensemble a distinctive sound...
Kenny Mathieson, Jazzwise UK

... it's not a compromise, but a splendid album of free blowing over powerful grooves...
Andy Hamilton, Jazz Review

...è difficile non rimanere subito colpiti dalla lucida scrittura del trombonista barese, il cui background di esperienze è a dir poco incredibile.
Enzo Pavoni, Audio Review

Either way Petrella is a true artisan who has assembled an extraordinarily impressive set!
** Vigorously recommended **

Glenn Astarita, All About Jazz USA

The group puts forth a rhythmically rooted avant-garde concept that ranges from frenetic and out to stately and melodic to flowing and funky.
David R. Adler, All Music Guide USA

Un impasto sonoro scuro e vibrante... Un esordio davvero convincente.
Enrico Bettinello, Blow Up

Questo disco è splendido, conferma il valore di Petrella anche in veste di leader e presenta un gruppo di rara compattezza: la musica è caratterizzata da una continua esplorazione e si snoda con ammirevole coerenza.
Angelo Leonardi, All About Jazz Italy
