“…16 jewels strung together into a luminous arc of meditation”

“Troja ha l’intelligenza di non suonare alla lettera nè Zindars nè Evans: piuttosto ci gira intorno, illumina quella musica dal suo punto di vista e ci invita a scoprire la singolarità e la bellezza di questa musica”
— Stefano Zenni, Il Giornale Della Musica
“It is one of the better new piano CDs I have heard in a while.There are still many great up-and-coming artists emerging, but far fewer poets. Here is a chance to discover one.”
— Maxwell Chandler, Jazz Police
“Luciano’s solo work is touching and deeply moving”
— Marc Myers, JazzWax.com
“The pianist’s touch, both firm and delicate, is an essential element of his success in negotiating the dimensions of dynamics in Zindars’ works”
— Doug Ramsey, Rifftides

“Un disco exquisito… una de las voces pianísticas más originales e interesantes surgidas en los últimos años.”
