(Openground is)...a sweetly swinging set of originals by the leader...Moltoni’s crisp and lyrical sound is complemented by bassist Paul Del Nero’s singing tone and drummer Bob Tamagni’s forceful beat and splashy cymbals in a consistently engaging three-way conversation among equals. A very pleasant listen. -Stuart Kremsky

20th Century Guitar June 2004

"...Openground is a stellar jazz trio date from guitarist Giovanni Moltoni......Moltoni’s ringing electric guitar chords and unusual voicings creates an open sounding, airy sound, and overall Openground keeps the interest levels high and brings a fresh perpective to the guitar trio format. - Robert Silverstein

Coda May/June issue.

"Boston’s Berklee College of Music has been associated with more than its share of distinctive guitarists, and faculty member Giovanni Moltoni certainly belongs on that list. His Openground... shows a musician with a broad conception that ranges from pastoral acoustic settings to a hard-edged electric approach with plenty of growling sustain. Moltoni employs unusual tunings and has a harmonic sensibility that leans toward open, ringing chords." -James Hale

"Moltoni’s often-inventive original compositions provide a forum for his progressive harmonies...Moltoni’s music, it’s creative and frequently infectious, a treat for the heart and mind alike" -Jim Ferguson

Boston Globe - Interview with Giovanni Moltoni

"Moltoni’s music (he composed all nine tunes on the CD) is soothing without being treacly or trite, and reminiscent of the moody, ethereal virtuosity popularized by the German label ECM in the 1970s." - Bill Beuttler
