“Francesca Prihasti paints a series of fantastic notions and tuneful tales on Adriana. There’s much to appreciate in this music, including Prihasti’s gifts in juxtaposing myriad ideas against one another without losing clarity. Thus far, Prihasti has flown under the radar but, if this album is any evidence, she’s bound to start registering with more ears soon.” All About Jazz, Dan Bilawski

“A tribute to the memory of her mother, who passed away in May of 2017, Adriana is Prihasti’s way of expressing grief through writing and playing music. Her gift for melody, which flows naturally throughout this appealing release, is like a healing balm Paste Magazine (from the article: 12 Women Influencing the Future of Jazz), Bill Milkowsky

Prihasti’s piano melodies are punctuated with precise and pungent lines. She has primed herself and her band to play under bigger lights” Downbeat Magazine, Denise Sullivan

“She plays as if not in a hurry, taking time to wait and listen to the surrounding activity….Prihasti’s cliché-free solo avoid predictable climatic arcs, instead tracing more impressionistic trajectories, inspiring similarly relaxed reactions from the others” The New York City Jazz Record, Tom Greenland

“The sense of space is evident and the after hours feel to much of it is a real tonic. Tasty.” Midwest Record, Chris Spector

“A gorgeous jazz record that is hugely personal.” Eastside Radio, Chelsea Deeley

“Impressive charts and friendly lyricism.” Jazz Weekly, George W.Harris

Francesca Prihasti has compiled a group featuring New York heavyweights Drew Gress (bass), Alan Ferber (trombone), Dave Pietro (sax), Michael Rodriguez (trumpet) Josh Roberts (drums) and Nic Vardanega on guitar. The band tackle a selection of new tunes from the pianist. The music – albeit energetic – is also reflective. – ABC Jazz Radio

“Glidingly, Prihasti’s playing and improvisations exuded an air of transparency and at first glance fragility within this calm narrative. Yet, it remains strong and assertive as a result of her visual imagination expressed through the sound canvas” – Dion Janapria
