Press Quotes
"In a truly international quartet, the ever spectacular acoustic talents of Antonio Forcione are embellished with Nigerian cello, Australian double bass and Brazilian percussion. All are bedazzling musicians with personality, expressing the same gentle humour and joy in performance as the tender Italian centerpiece.
"...Forcione seamlessly interweaves African, blues, Brazilian, classical, flamenco and Indian influences into an entirely personal signature sound. Evocative, sensuos, meticulously wrought, this is music-making with a singular vision.' ( Peter Queen)
****Jazz Wise (Apr 07)
Delicate, dynamic and controlled, the compositions and arrangements are inspired, showcasing a mind-boggling variety of styles and form. He's an all plucking, all strumming, all clicking, tapping, slapping virtuoso of world jazz - and comes highly recommended." **** - The List
