Album reviews
"Een debuut-cd is altijd iets bijzonders. Over de debuut-cd 'So Far' van Gabriele di Franco en Stefan Gottfried is goed nagedacht."
Sjoerd van Aelst, Jazzflits (NL)
"Het is een uur eigentijdse jazz met duidelijke wortels in de historie, die zich graag laat herbeluisteren en daarbij aan diepte en zeggingskracht wint."
Sjoerd van Aelst, Jazzflits (NL)
"Creativiteit, intimiteit en impressionisme overtuigen veel meer."
Rinus van der Heijden, Jazznu.com (NL)
"So Far è un disco che, in dieci tracce, non urla, non strepita, non si impone con artifici funambolici, ma racconta storie chiare, semplici e anche molto personali."
Laura Rizzo, QuiSalento (IT)
About the album
Gottfried di Franco's So Far tells the story of two young aspiring musicians who expand their musical and personal horizon in a foreign environment, so far from their roots, in order to give their perception of the world a new dimension. Their compositions sketch situations, explain decisions, recount unutterable feelings and therefore are joined together to portray a big whole.
So far looking back. So far from home. Express so far more. So far looking ahead.
