PRESS INFO:
- Wayne Shorter wrote: "Andrea Marcelli's music is vibrant and
thought-provoking as today's events. Andrea is such a chameleon.
When I first heard his music, it struck me that he played drums,
clarinet, percussion, keyboards and composed in a variety of styles
that defied classification, moreover, his display of sensitivity and
creative approach to the work produced."

- John Kelman (www.allaboutjazz.com)

....Marcelli's compositions transcend simple melody, transporting the
listener to places known and unknown, eliciting hidden emotions...
Beyond the Blue represents something of a quantum leap for Marcelli as
a player, but more notably as a writer. There's a maturity of concept,
a clarity of vision, that makes Beyond the Blue something of a
watershed for Marcelli....
