Cisi is a pride for Italian jazz! Rightly famous in the world! This album is exceptional, with fabulous Interplay. The presence of Eric Reed completes a wonderful training in itself superlative! ~ Mandrioli Giancarlo, Amazon.com.

Great Record

Emanuele Cisi is a formidable saxophonist and his reputation has long gone beyond national borders. In this latest work he is joined by an extraordinary rhythm section composed of the great American pianist Eric Reed, Vincenzo Florio on double bass and Australian drummer Adam Pache. In a couple of tracks the Peruvian trombonist Humberto Amesquita is added to them. Cisi's music is energetic, permeated with swing and ennobled by one of the most beautiful saxophone voices that can be heard; it is solidly attached to the mainstream, but never falls into the trap of its clichés. Ultimately a record to take with your eyes closed. ~ Stefano Lazzaretto, Amazon.com.
