"Fornarelli is an Italian pianist whose compositions transcend style and genre, instead embracing a dynamic tension of musical thought and lyrical emotion. Post-modern contemporary fusion is, at best, a feeble attempt to try and place this musical square peg in the proverbial round whole. To place Fornarelli in the catchall category referred to as European jazz would be far too easy, unlike Fornarelli’s music. Room of Mirrors opens with a dynamic tension of passionate and thoughtful (if not slightly blues-infused) harmonic progressions that are emotionally captivating while moving forward with a sense of musical purpose. Fornarelli’s trio demonstrates a unique cohesion, while playing just slightly on the edge of the more traditional western form and functionality of improvised music."
