SIMONA PREMAZZI: Looking For An Exit
Jazz piano trio - captivating compositions - hypnotic, percussive, energetic.
Simona Premazzi..s music has been described as "a mix that conjugates fantasy, energy and melodic grace" (S. Pasquandrea - jazzit magazine)
Like spontaneous combustion, Simona Premazzi set the music aflame on her debut recording Looking For An Exit. She has sheer talent and also a certain presence that makes her a standout. Premazzi's playing can be forceful, delicate, humorous, or dramatic, and sometimes all within the same composition.
A promising and exciting new female pianist - composer. Bravissimo.
(Mark F. Turner - )
Pianist Simona Premazzi is a force to be reckoned with (J. Hunter – All About Jazz)
