"Lattanzi plays through the complexities with ease and cooks at all the right
times." David Kane – Cadence Magazine (USA) - April 2007
"Lattanzi, leader and composer of all the tracks doesn't reserve any privileged
spots for himself, on the contrary he moves with great balance and regard to the
form and displays a mature drumming and an intense, original creative vein.
There is full potential here for a bright future." Valentino Casali – Jazzit (ITA)- May 2007
"There is considerable ability here and much potential for the future." Ian Mann – 24Dash.com (UK) - 2006
