What musicians and critics have said about Frank Giasullo’s work.
“Great tune (‘Nightwalk’), classic jazz song structure with superb vocal and instrumental performances. Sophisticated melody…loved the trumpet solo.”
Mike Pinder — The Moody Blues
“An effortlessly assured straightahead jazz set led by a glossily elegant pianist…Giasullo’s crisp phrasing and pearly sound make an excellent contrast….”
John Fordham — The Guardian (UK)
“Bill Evans’ trios are an obvious model but…Giasullo moves far enough away from Evans to capture Ramsey Lewis’ funky gospel strut. The Evans-plus-gospel description may remind you of Keith Jarrett.”
Kevin Whitehead — JazzTimes
“You can’t please all the people all the time, but Frank Giasullo’s Interweave Jazz Trio came close in its concert at VMI’s Lejeune Hall.”
Mollie Hall — Lexington (VA) News-Gazette
“Frank is one of the most exciting musicians I’ve heard in quite some time.”
John Coates Jr.
“Giasullo’s compositions will bring to mind Chick Corea…and the ruminative stylings of Steve Kuhn…. The musicians never get carried away by over-displays of technique. That makes it easy to get hooked by the simplicity of the music.”
Richard B. Kamins — Cadence, The American Review of Jazz & Blues
