Ralph Alessi & Fred Hersch
ONLY MANY
"Hypnotic,
expanded themes, from Monk to Motian, in which improvisation and
interplay reign supreme. Hersch and Alessi pursue each other, chase each
other, overlap each other and slowly find increasingly different
languages and expressive forms, resulting in an utterly fascinating,
magnetic CD."

Big Blue
STRANGE WONDER
"...
not only the rarefied atmospheres and cool sounds that you would expect
from a Finnish quartet, but also great impulsive leaps able to
emotionally engage and warm the heart of the listener through soft
ballads of great elegance."

Fulvio SigurtÃ
SPL
"Having
availed himself of the depth of each member, all the leader need do is
show his mark: his lines are soft or pointed, mystical or poisonous,
always veined with intimate emotional moods. ... this is convincing,
exciting and leads one to think. Like being dazzled by a dewdrop,
shattering on a mighty river."
(F. Scoppio)

BEYOND
"I
try to combine the music that my peers dance to in nightclubs to my
world, to the most genuine jazz, from which I do not care to extract its
artificial elements, but its creativity." (M. Cigalini)
