“What I love most is the unusual makeup of his quartet, which includes Kirk Knuffke on cornet, Charlie Sigler on guitar and Allan Mednard on drums. You don’t often hear these instruments together in a small ensemble, and the resulting textures are especially tender and pensive on ballads and reverberating on uptempo pieces.„
— Marc Myers - JazzWax
“Bassist and composer Andrea Veneziani has assembled another gem of a recording with his latest, The Lighthouse.„
— Glenn Daniels - The Jazz Page
