Reviews

“Joe Chindamo is an amazing pianist. That is a given. He also happens to be an equally gifted composer with a unique voice. He is a important Australian musician who deserves wide recognition and support.” Richard Tognet

“A virtuoso in the tradition of Peterson, Chindamo demonstrates here that technique isn’t only about speed and accuracy, it’s also to do with touch and expression…. It’s a triumphant display that should appeal to any fan of classic piano jazz.” Adrian Jackson, Rhythms Magazine and The Bulletin, Aust.
