"An introspective work in which the very skilled musicians successfully unfurl a vast musical horizon in a coherent and unique way". -- Ignazio Prignano, AllAboutJazz Italia 2010

"The music is as accessible as it is adventurous, cerebral and emotional, programmed and sponteneous, it's jazz and classical, recognizable and never heard, grave and light-footed, but with an aesthetic beauty and sensitivity that can only be admired. So is the musicianship: listen to the quality of the sounds, the ideas, the interaction but also the restratint they show. [...] it all fits nicely. Exceptional!" -- Stef Gijssels - Free jazz, October 2009.

"Very beautiful and very, very sophisticated". -- Andrea Ferraris - Sands Zine, November 2009.









"...Music that is both intense and of austere character, exploring the interesting resonances of the acoustic instruments. [...] As it is usually a mark of the production of Tonino Miano [...] Ulysses abounds with fascinating and subtle details that enslave the listener and, through consecutive listens, leads us to new and surprising discoveries". --E. Chagas - Jazz & Arredores, March 2009













"Creative, intelligent and cheerful music, produced to be thought upon and felt in all its easy complexity". --E. Chagas-Jazz & Arredores 2008.

"...Italian improvisers are still as frisky, first-rate and frenetic as they have been in the past.." --K. Waxman-Jazzword, March 2009. 









"Sounds seems perfectly placed without strenuous effort. There is a clear sense of two musicians being very familiar and relaxed in each other's presence.[...] the music glows." -- Chris Kennedy, Musicworks #104, Summer 09.

"Brilliant trumpet & piano duo [...] theirs is thoroughly serious music, replete with intriguing subtleties, still greatly fascinating after several consecutive listens". ---M. Ricci, Touching Extremes, 2008.

"The notes splatter like fat rain drops on hot pavement [...] Miano and Cosottini stand out". -- D. Dupont, Cadence Magazine, 789/08.
