REVIEWS

Nearing the close of Gianluca’s performance during the Bermuda Reception in Denver, CO at the RIMS Convention the Honorable Premier Craig Cannonier (former political leader of Bermuda) stated the following:

“These guys are brilliant! Aren’t they? I mean that Gibbons, this group is out of this world. And that’s another thing we need to encourage as well, and I want to thank you for giving a taste of Bermuda to those who have not had a chance to come to Bermuda, with this wonderful music that you are playing. Thank you once again, cheers everyone.”

In a review regarding Gianluca and his band HEЯITAGE™ professional saxophonist Harold Rapp III wrote the following:

"Mr. Gibbons has an intrinsic way of adding professionally to today's current swag. His melodic tones are precise and intentional drawing listeners closer to the next jack lick. I can tell that the group has been performing together for a while, they are in sequence and complement Gibbons nicely. I believe this group will be the new generation of contemporary instrumentalist."

“I remember when we recorded the songs for “En Tus Manos” and the album "Tu Promesa" by María José Jimeno and each take was different, it was new, it was fresh and it was definitely due to your ability to improvise and create. I hope that your musical talent will continue developing until we cross paths again!”

In a review of Gianluca former Minister of Cultural Affairs for Bermuda Dale Butler wrote the following:

“Gianluca, congratulations. Your performance/practice at Hubie's in 2013 is still talked about. Then we assisted you with your travels to Cuba. You returned to Bermuda for the concert fund-raiser and made it very obvious you were determined to become musically proficient. You are gifted. When the Giant Steps Band arrived in Cuba in Dec. 2013 to participate in the Havana Jazz Festival we met several people who spoke highly of you. Your teachers were also impressed. Keep up the good work.”
