Luca Nostro is a compelling young artist who's pushing the boundaries of modern music with his ambitious compositions

Donny Mc CaslinContemporary Jazz musician and composer

Italy has been producing some very hi level musicians for a long time. Luca is at the top of the heap”

Antonio Sanchez (drummer, composer, Grammy Award Winner)

“Guitarist Luca Nostro, a high-concept composer improviser from Rome, recorded his fourth album, Are You OK?, in Brooklyn with McCaslin, keyboard player John Escreet, bassist Joe Sanders and drummer Tyshawn Sorey. His music combines quirky melodiesand rhythmic structures with a rock attitude to produce a style at once challenging and accessible.” Tom Greenland, NYCJR

“..The 10-minute journey “Trematoda” is fueled as much by Nostro’s intricate, spidery motifs as it is McCaslin’s spiraling yet propulsive lines. When the guitarist and saxophonist interweave their lines toward the end of “I Hate,” the result is intoxicating.” Bobby Reed, Downbeat
