“Bassist Andrea Veneziani teams up with drummer Ross Pederson and featured pianist Kenny Werner for Oltreoceano. It is an excellent blend of originals and standards in a variety of tempos. They really swing on the cover of Charlie Parker’s “Segment” and “Traffico”, one of Veneziani’s originals. Each of the trio gets time in the spotlight and all are up to the challenge making this a formidable effort!„

“The Best Jazz of 2012. Acoustic Bass Album and New Talent.„
— Arnaldo DeSouteiro - Jazz Station
“The musical dialogue between Kenny Werner and Andrea Veneziani appears to be very balanced.
The album appears to reflect at its core the spirit of Monk, Evans and Parker.„
