From Drummer Cafe
From the very first stroke of the Ride cymbal, on the opening tune of The Alvo Sessions, I knew I was going to enjoy this CD. I've got to say this upfront; I really dig Sandro's cymbal and drum sounds. But as great as those instruments sound, it's the musician and what he does with those instruments that brings them to life.

The Alvo Sessions... with the lyric bass lines of Chris Tarry, along with the Indian sounding influenced guitar stylings of Rez Abbasi, and thick drum grooves of Sandro Dominelli, makes for an exciting and inspirational musical experience. There's no doubt that Dominelli, Abbasi, and Tarry are individually great musicians, but the symbiosis that I hear from this trio clearly comes out of an analogous companionship; the three flow as one.
