"With interactive familiarity engendered by time, the three easily enmesh unique textures and timbres into a satisfying whole".
--Ken Waxman, Jan.2013, THE NEW YORK CITY JAZZ RECORD
"This trio combines forces with solid results...There is a playful and somewhat melodic quality to this even though it is fully improvised. A rarity for most free music"
--Bruce Lee Gallanter, DOWNTOWN MUSIC GALLERY
LUCIANO TROJA (piano) & GIANCARLO MAZZU' (guitar)
Luciano and Giancarlo play together on the international jazz scene since 2002. Their music is mainly based on the search for new forms and expressions, related to tradition with a solid jazz background, mixed with folk music, classical forms and free improvisation.
They played with various musicians of the creative area, among the others Barre Phillips, Globe Unity Orchestra, and Blaise Siwula.
Luciano and Giancarlo released also two CDs in duo 'Seven Tales About Standards' (2006) and 'Seven Tales About Standards Vol.2' (2009), for SplascH Records label. Both the CDs have received great reviews internationally. ("Top Ten CDs of the Year" El Intruso Jazz Magazine, "Best Albums of 2009" All About Jazz Italy).
