I have had the great pleasure of performing with Luca Nostro and was knocked out by his musicianship and great sense of open creativity.
Glen VelezGrammy winning percussionist
Luca Nostro's innovative artistry and generous musical spirit is a great asset to the world of contemporary music. It has been a privilege to collaborate with him in performance and in the studio.

Loire CotlerRhythm Vocalist
It was a pleasure working with Luca (...). The session was very relaxed and effortless and that allowed the music to flow in a very natural way. Italy has been producing some very hi level musicians for a long time. Luca (…) is at the top of the heap
