"A work that blends together. Music filled with refreshing sounds flows".

Kazune Hayata - Jazz Life (Japan) - September 2023

 

 

 

"Diana Torti, another naturally gifted Italian singer".

Suzanne Lorge - The New York City Jazz Record - August 2023

 

 

"It's All We Have represents just their second duo album and it is a fine one, with the creative melding of both artists' visions"

Troy Dostert - All About Jazz - August 2023

 

 

 

"Il tutto per un disco fatto di avventurose esplorazioni timbriche, soluzioni inattese, archi melodici non banali né scontati. La voce di Torti volteggia come quella della Joni Mitchell più jazzy, lo corde vibrano con pienezza e coraggio. Gran bel lavoro."

Guido Festinese - 3rd June, 2023 - Alias (il manifesto)

Ten Questions for Diana Torti and Sabino de Bari - interview

By Fiona Ross - Kindofjazz

 

"Never before has an album’s deep lyrics contrasted so markedly with the lightness and sheer beauty of its sound. The seriousness of many, although not all, of the lyrics is balanced by some lyrics that are very uplifting together with the downright gorgeousness of the singing and music." 

Fiona Mactaggart - MAY 1, 2023 - JAZZ IN EUROPE


 

 

"An album to luxuriate in as Sabino de Bari and Diana Torti embrace jazz, improvisation, contemporary classical and ancient music in an intoxicating and eclectic programme."

Nick Lea - Apr 27, 2023 - Jazz Views

 

 

"There is tenderness, humility, and wonder; asparseness and pared-back feeling to the arrangements which in turn allow the spotlight to fall on the vocalist or guitarist.

Over eleven compositions, the guitar and voice work together to create a magical album".

Sammy Stein - Platinummind (May 2023)

"The art of song"

"Lo racconta il mare: un disco che attraversa le tradizioni del Mediterraneo"

Giacomo Pisani - 29th July 2022 - L'Espresso (Il surfista di Malibù)

 

 


 

"Il recupero della tradizione orale e la musica pepoiare in chiave contemporanea innervano il nuovo od di Sabino de Bari, Lo racconta il mces. « ana libera interpretazione di poemi antichis, dice l'autore che condivide questa ricerca madicale con la cantante Diana Torti." 

Roberto Biasco - 8th April 2022 - LEFT

 

"Never before has an album’s deep lyrics contrasted so markedly with the lightness and sheer beauty of its sound. The seriousness of many, although not all, of the lyrics is balanced by some lyrics that are very uplifting together with the downright gorgeousness of the singing and music."   

Nick Lea - MAY, 2022 - Jazz Views


"Un profondo spirito evocativo che suscita l’immagine di estasianti paesaggi sonori intrisi di un preziosissimo retaggio culturale. Una sensibile e toccante narrazione dal sapore ancestrale, ma rinverdita da un imprinting contemporaneo, volto a creare una sorta di anello di congiunzione fra passato e presente.."

Stefano Dentice - 30th March 2022 - La voce agli italiani

"La musica di Diana è avvolgente, ti porta con sé verso dimensioni inedite, facendoti perdere dentro sonorità fluttuanti e impalpabili, per farti poi ritrovare nelle parole, che nel frattempo hanno assunto tutt’altro senso, in un gioco di riflessi e contaminazione."

Giacomo Pisani - April, 22 2019 - L'Espresso (Il surfista di Malibù)
