NEW
YORK (Mike Di
Lorenzo PR) "The CD is generously endowed with stand out
tracks and none more so than 'Motified', a groovy number with Latin
influences rumbling beneath Di Lorenzo's hallmark keyboards...
Mike
Di
Lorenzo seems to have pulled it off and, into the bargain, provided
what is likely to be one of the more engaging releases of 2005."

"Mikes piano solos and phrasings are simply flawless.
I
dig Di Lorenzo's playing style; he should indeed draw well-deserved
attention not only his playing but also his overall composition and
production savvy.
I love Di Lorenzo's use of the Rhodes piano, meshed with his keyboard work is superb."

that will win the respect of jazz lovers all round, you have the modern
smoothness of today,(Fourplay and Roy Hargrove) and the staples of the
past like the flattering hints of the Blue Note and Soul Jazz."

delicate balance of past inspirations and todays energies works out
beautifully on this album. The end game is players perform to their

"the
title track Urbanized which also has a killer electric piano solo
reminiscent of
George Duke... Bob Malach shines on Tenor Sax, Vinnie
Cutro play the fine trumpet work... this excellent recording which is
easy on the ears and just perfect for your car stereo for the summer of
2005"

"some of the best numbers on the
album take us back to the 70s soul jazz years - particularly those when
players were mixing acoustic and electric instrumentation, yet doing so
in a warm and open manner"
www.DustyGroove.com
"Di
Lorenzo apparently knows who to bring to the jam because his bandmates make you feel like you're on the stage"
