SOLO "... it seems as if Braida is peeling away layer after layer of external enclosures from the music's core, led by his improvised thinking and wide-ranging inspirations, delivering a piano music which is extraordinarily original and above all strikingly fresh. This music is a new combination where strains of jazz, 20th Century music, and the past 40 years of European improvised pianism are the ingredients of an organically balanced musical architecture which is exquisitely pianistic without resorting to any pre-set approaches. ...If (and I am firmly convinced of it) the highest achievement in jazz is not getting on the top of a set of technical rules, but finding one's own unmistakable voice, it sounds like Alberto has accomplished it." Francesco Martinelli (from the liner notes of Talus, Nuscope recordings CD 1022)
