“This latest effort from Gabe Terracciano, arguably the brightest lit of the current crop of emergent jazz violin luminaries, takes a European stance with its acoustic trio setting evocative of the gypsy jazz legend Django Reinhardt as well as intriguing takes on classical music gems, yet at its core is undeniably of the American canon, expressed at its most joyous heartfelt best.” – David Balakrishnan, founding violinist/composer of the two time Grammy winning, Turtle Island Quartet
“With ‘Three Part Invention,’ Gabe Terracciano and his trio have made something remarkable: an album that’s at once unabashedly virtuosic and suffused with sweetness and intimacy. This is gregarious, generous music; an animated conversation that sweeps you in with a welcoming embrace.” – Tanya Kalmanovitch, genre-bending violist and entrepreneurial visionary
“The trio effortlessly blends swing jazz and classical influences into something decidedly modern. Music not too academic for passive enjoyment that still deeply rewards close, repeated listening. A real pleasure.” – Josh Turner, YouTube sensation and member of the Other Favorites
“Gabe Terracciano is the golden goose and ‘Three Part Invention’ is his egg. A Masterpiece. Please use your ears to discover for yourself.” – Ari Hoenig, groundbreaking drummer and improviser
First Original Album is out now!!! Listen at http://www.gabeterracciano.bandcamp.com
“Somehow, in any mode, Terracciano’s string work always keeps a touch of cool class amid it all. In Flight is an impressively sharp-swinging debut with plenty of further promise.” – Geno Thackara, All About Jazz
“Terracciano flies high on his debut as leader. An exceptional violinist, he draws on the long history of jazz violin, shaping the evolving vocabulary into his own sound—swinging, melodious and visceral. He also writes good tunes, likewise steeped in jazz tradition, yet exhibiting contemporary vitality. Hopefully, this impressive outing is just the first of many more such flights.” – Ian Patterson, All About Jazz
