"you feel carried away into the world of Afro-Cuban music, West African rhythms, jazz rock of the 70s and 80s with rhythm par excellence. It is your own fault if you do not move with such a rhythmic design!"
Ferdinand Dupius-Panther, Jazz Halo, Dec 2020
"As a drummer, Castelli is dominant while ironically not appearing to dominate the tunes.
His drumming fades in and out, and when he comes out from the shadows, you realize you’re listening to a guy who is in the same league as Tony Williams, Billy Cobham, and Art Blakey."
George R Glasser, Jazz Syndicate
"This CD presents Jazz as an ever evolving art form, in it's cultural references. A great canvas for a quartet that pulls all it's talent & power. It's a really enjoyable album."
Gary Haywood-Everett, Hot Biscuits Radio England
“Castelli demonstrates many of the different aspects to being a great jazz drummer as he leads his live ensemble through his own compositions in this energetic, bouncy and thoroughly lively Party.”
Chris Slawecki, AllaboutJazz
Greetings music lovers,
Please share & support the new release. It's getting great reviews & I'm feeling grateful. Recorded under horribly stressful times, but the show must go on!
Shows in Spain, England & Austria in Fall.
