”...questo e' un cd compatto. E ascoltarlo e' un vero piacere per le orecchie.” Thanks for the Riff, Giuseppe Piacentino, Musica Jazz, Italy 9/ 2011

“..He makes the most out of the versatility of the piano. His jazz harmony and improvised runs work together perfectly. Ascoltabile Piano & Atmospheres is a must listen for jazz fans..” Richard Henry, WorldWide Jazz- January 2011

“..Tamburrino occupies the same rhythmic sensibility as Monk; playing alone, he moves around the piano with just those pensive, eccentric footsteps, clatters, trips..” Jay Deshpande, All About Jazz-

“..Tamburrino's Monkery shine broadly in unreconstructed rag and stride motifs and genial, spiky liricism..” Fred Bouchard, All About Jazz NY-July 2009
