In Flight - Gabe Terracciano
"Adventurous, but always melodic...Terracciano plays with Joe Venuti's grace and Zbigniew Seifert's swagger." - Ian Patterson, All About Jazz
Terracciano shows offjaunty Bob Wills-style western swing, airy Stephane Grappelli-esque phrasing, lots of sabretoothed Romany riffs, and stark blues as well. - New York Music Daily
