NEWSPAPERS/MAGAZINES ARTICLES:

Bob Bernotas "Just Jazz" e-newsletter: "On three of the seven tracks in this ambitious project, Canadian bassist-composer Roberto Occhipinti and three brilliant Cuban musicians — alto saxophonist Luis Deniz, pianist David Virelles, drummer Dafnis Prieto — are supported by a string quartet plus winds. Three others add a forty-piece string orchestra from Moscow. All of hem offer a thoughtful, fluid blend of jazz, classical, and world music."

M.D. from The National Post , wrote: "In the company of an inventive Cuban trio, a string orchestra from Moscow and friends including drummer Tony Allen, the Toronto bassist and producer (Gorillaz, Odessa/Havana) navigates poly-rhythmic jazz with as many turns as the River Meander itself. The playing? Impressively fluid."
