During his last tour in Europe the critic Eduardo Chagas from the website Jazz e Arredores, from Lisbon, Portugal, wrote: “Brazilian cellist Luciano Correa carefully crafted his sound to match the each contemporary composition played by the group. An excellent improviser, his playing was subtle, delicate and attentive to minute details of the general sound environment. Correa was able to harness the power of improvisation: knowing how to listen and respond to the musical dialog of the moment.”
