Note di stampa e critica: "...Jacovella si rivela pianista e autore raffinato, che ama il chiaroscuro e il dialogo a mezza voce..." (Musica Jazz); "The Jump, brano composto dal pianista romano per il clarinetto di Tony Scott: bastano la voce angosciata, tremendamente evocativa del "santone" del New Jersey ed i suo dolente "scat" a dare i brividi!" ; "...quello di Jacovella è innegabilmente un retroterra culturale che affonda le proprie radici in Europa." ," ...una esecuzione di stampo jarrettiano in perfetta solitudine.." (Altrisuoni.org), "..il pianismo di L.J. omaggia spesso la grande lezione di Art Tatum." (K.Kralj-Il Piccolo, Trieste); "The Heart of Europe: un lavoro suggestivo con un andamento intimistico..." (Jazzit); "dove il pianismo jarrettiano di Jacovella s'incontra con il romantico flauto di Nicola Stilo"..."Jazz sì, anche se a volte proiettato in un ambito più "colto"..."espressione lirica e tocco squisitamente melodico concentrato soprattutto nei brani di solo" (Jazzconvention).

Noteworthy Press and critiques: "...Jacovella proves to be a refined pianist and author, who loves chiaroscuro and soft-spoken dialogue..." (Musica Jazz); "The jump, a piece composed by the roman pianist for Tony Scott's clarinette: the anguished, tremendously evocative voice of the "Holy man" from New Jersey and his painful scat are enough to give you the shivers!"; " Jacovella's is, without doubt, a cultural background that is sinking its roots in Europe." ,"A performance in a Keith Jarrett style of perfect solitude.." (Altrisuoni.org), ".. L.J.'s piano often pays homage to the great lesson of Art Tatum." (K.Kralj-Il Piccolo, Trieste); "The Heart of Europe: a suggestive work with an intimate pace..." (Jazzit)
