by Sammy Stein
From the opening of Nordik and the first track “Too High Don't Fry" the prodigious talent of Marco Marconi is clear.

Daniel Smith: Jazz Suite for Bassoon
by Jack Bowers

Come dice Ekkehard Jost nel suo fondamentale volume Europas Jazz (Fischer Verlag, 1987), “Negli anni attorno al 1970, in un fase storica relativamente breve, il Jazz europeo trovò se stesso."
