“Oltreoceano is a stunning debut and should quickly have Veneziani as a bassist to watch in the near future. Andrea Veneziani is far more than the next flavor of the month hanging out in odd meter or getting bogged down in a variation on the speed is king mentality. Veneziani is a prolific talent both as an instrumentalist and as a composer and Oltreoceano is indeed one of the very finest trio releases for the year.„
— Brent Black - Critical Jazz
“Though his disc with Werner is called Oltreoceano (which translates as “overseas”), it sounds very New York to American ears with Werner playing some of his most adventurous and challenging work in a long while.„
— Jeff Simon - Buffalo News
“A solid, sitting down jazz debut, he teams with Kenny Werner, who brings the chops to keep the wheels on the track, and art is born.„
— Chris Spector - Midwest Record
“Andrea Veneziani’s compositions are imaginative and lively, often constructed on the basis of danceable rhythms, and at the same time profound and trivial.
A mature and established composer and performer. I wish Oltreoceano will not be the last encounter with this talented musician.„
— Leonid Auskern - Jazz Quad
“This is a good record.„
— Olli Ervasti - Jazz Rytmit
