“There are many fine,young Basslayers worldwide that i come into contact with.But what makes Davide special is his highly developed sense of proportion and form when he accompanies and when he solos. He actually thinks about what he is doing.He does not just move his fingers without leaving breathing space and time for his associates to respond or initiate.This concept of playing is rarely found in musicians three times older then Davide.His seriousness(witch i can personally attest to)is inspiring to see.Here there is a young musician dedicated to learning,playing and contributing to the true art form that jazz is and not falling into the facade and traps wich modern culture makes so readily available to the young and creative people of our era. I respect Davide for his artistic attitude!”
