Alessandro Sgobbio

A perfect fusion of contemporary acidifications and North-European melodic masses. Alceste Ayroldi (Musica Jazz Magazine – IT) This is music with a great sense of musicality and sophistication. Ettore Garzia (Percorsi Musicali —IT) "Great record. Wonderful music with a very diverse repertoire, played flawlessly. You can hear the spirit and mutual respect the three musicians have for each other and the music. These guys have a history to be sure ." Dave Liebman ("These Human Beings" liner notes - 2015) “Melodies that hit all the angles, accentuating crispness over flow, which adds to the intrigue and a compulsion to see where they go, even if there isn’t a lot of melodic development in the process, much how a car chase can be thrilling even if it never leaves a small area of city blocks

All three musicians talkative on their instruments, bolstering the rhythmic elements. Good stuff.” Dave Sumner (All About Jazz / eMusic Jazz Picks) “Parfaite cohésion du trio. Élegance et bon goût des compositions.” Julien Delli Fiori (Radio France, JAZZAFIP) - “CHARM” album ( Feb 09, 2014 ) “ The DVD Frames is a wonderful listening experience. If ours not familiar with this group, do yourself a favour and do so. You won't be sorry. " Dom Minasi (New York City - 2014) “ Pericopes highlights prestigious and formative influences from bothAmerica and Europe (especially Italy), and reveal an valuable and original compositional style. ”( Committee of Umbria Jazz Festival Contest - 2013 ) “Eccellente pianista, giovane ma già in possesso di un suo stile e di notevole personalità. [...] Il trio [...] rappresenta al momento il contesto più adatto al suo percorso musicale. E questo interessantissimo Charm lo dimostra in maniera compiuta attraverso il dipanarsi di una trama musicale affascinante fin dall'apertura della prima traccia Crimeeide, che segnala una formazione pianistica non comune [...] la musica di Charm sfugge a qualunque etichetta e questa sembra la sua forza: [...] Una prova davvero notevole, un trio di musicisti di qualità non comune.” Sergio Spada ( Jazz Convention - 08/03/2014 ) "The duo piano-soprano saxophone shows the highlight of improvised music: it reminds me of the rehearsals of Mal Waldron with Steve Lacy (without wanting to force a comparison). Sgobbio and Vernizzi do not compromise with blatant references, and they look for an original direction. What these two composers and musicians are offering is true music, not an imitation. Heart, and intelligence too". Franco Bergoglio (jazz journalist and writer)
