Reviews;

“Magdalena’s rich deep voice, accompanied by the brilliance of Steve Thomson on double bass ‘will transport you to a place of low-lit glamour.”
Wave Magazine

” the kind of subtle magical power happening at the Blue Café won’t be held across the Pond for long.The similarly charming and talented Corinne Bailey Rae became a Grammy nominated sensation and a major presence on the U.S. pop and jazz charts, and there’s no reason why Reising couldn’t follow suit with enough Stateside interest and promotion.
New York Review

TONY’s Reviews …

‘Tony Pancella has matured into one of the most promising pianist of his generation. It is a beautiful and very emotionally stimulating experience to listen to Tony Pancella at this special time in his life. I can say, unequivocally, that each successive listening of his CD’s gets better, which is really what this art form is all about!!”
Keith Copeland (international top jazz musician)


“…. his controlled technique put him aside from the virtuoso – romantic – piano players so frequent into the Evans-like piano players of today. (…).”
Gino Fortunato (JAZZ, ‘n Blues ‘n Around)

“If there was such a thing as a “pure jazz musician” in this multicultural glogal village of ours, then italian pianist Tony Pancella would have a strong claim to the title…”
Barry Davis (The Jerusalem Post – Israel)
