What the press is saying:
“This record was immediately attractive on first listen, and subsequent plays have not dimmed my enthusiasm.” - Roger Atkinson reviews the debut recording by Dino Massa Kansas City Quintet in the April / May 2017 issue of Jazz Ambassador Magazine.
“On This New Jazz Record, Kansas City And Italy Make Beautiful Music Together – It’s an exceptionally graceful album (Echoes of Europe) that imbues mainstream jazz with the elegant sheen of classical chamber music.” - Bill Brownlee for KCUR 89.3FM (Kansas City Star, Ink)
“…rich watercolors of sound.
Like listening to Monet.”
- George W. Harris, Jazz Weekly
“This is top quality jazz
…highly recommended for both traditional and modern jazz fans.”
