Unmissable!

'...Anyone who has experienced a glissando of language on the streets of Italy will understand the utter exuberance with which Italian-born Starace attacks and runs with the language of music'.

Paul Medley - The Oxford Times

'...The declamatory fierceness of his alto often calls Sonny Criss or Jackie McLean to mind'.

Chris Parker ,Londonjazz.blogspot.com

''Having seen Tommaso Starace live recently, I can thoroughly recommend him as bright toned altoist, best described as a latter Phil Woods.''

Martin Bright - Ukjazzradio.com
