They Say
Drummer Stranieri is an excellent listener who keeps coming up with the appropriate accompaniment no matter
where the tunes end up.
Stuart Kremsky - CADENCE (USA) – JULY-AUG-SEPT 2009
Drummer Nicola Stanieri is subtle and swinging, frequently using brushes, which is appropriate given
the instrumentation and arrangements. But when energy is called for (as on “34 Skidoo”) he fits the bill
quite nicely.
