Marco Iacobini is one of the most unique and talented guitarists on this
planet. His virtuosity goes outside the norms and reaches into the celestial
dimensions of space and time. To compare his to people like John
McLaughlin, Steve Vai or Al DiMeola is not a far stretch of the imagination but
a serious reality. Though Marco is Italian and not all that well known in the
United States by many, his brilliance shines all over the stages of Europe. He
is known in the music world as plays and records with the likes of Tony Levin,
Stuart Hamm, Mike Terrana, Carl Verheyen, Billy Sheehan, Joel Taylor, Dave
Weckl, Keith Carlock, Thomas Lang, Philippe Saisse, Phil Maturano and Bill
Bergman, just to name a few

his new album Steven Bliss of Visual Sound had this to say: “This is a an
amazing display of not only genius and virtuosity, but an incredible depth of
emotion so often lost in instrumental music. It’s not just about “notes”. Marco
makes his instrument profoundly speak! By bridging the gap of intellect and
passion with incredible tone and mastery of the instrument, Marco reveals an
unmatched devotion to the gift God has placed deep within him. Divinely
inspired and executed… Marco has achieved what every artist hopes to… A
MASTERPIECE!” Check out Marco Iacobini… you’ll be glad you did!
