“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.„

“Best of 2012.„

“The Lighthouse shines as a beacon on Andrea Veneziani, a firm, gentle leader with a sprightly sense of melody, keen ear for ensemble interaction, and a didactic nose to sniff out and codify instructive lessons.„
— Fred Bouchard - The New York City Jazz Record
