'Looperville is an imaginary city which is a melting pot of many different cultures, influencies and colours, where each element is perfectly integrated with the whole. In a similar way, this project contains all my musical and sound influencies, converging into one unique musical speech: from jazz to classical music, rock, funk, elegant pop songs and a touch of avant-garde' [Walter Beltrami] Press quotes about Walter and his previous works: ALLABOUTJAZZ John Kelman, Jerry D'Souza "A unique sense of melody" "a guitarist well worth watching [...]" "Electrifying melodic and rhythmic motifs and incendiary guitar lines. Beltrami showcases his flair as a composer and his artistry as a guitarist in expansive and intricate terms manifested in music that packs a soul-stirring wallop." JAZZ MAGAZINE FRANCE Thierry Quénum "An outstanding talent who can't let you indifferent!" "Original, big sound and energy close to rock combining a great melodic delicacy" THE NEW YORK CITY JAZZ RECORD John Sharpe "Tight, fast-changing, sometimes portentous, sometimes catchy. With his imaginative use of rock idioms, Beltrami has created an exciting set packed with visceral thrills." MUSICA JAZZ "A masterpiece! A work of absolute quality by one of the most interesting voice of Contemporary Guitar." CUADERNOS DE JAZZ Yahvé M. de la Cavada "A brave and exciting guitarist" "the best marriage between jazz and rock I listened to since a very long time." AUDIO REVIEW Marco Crisostomi "The best Italian cd of the year! The future? It's already here!" JAZZMAN Pascal Rozat "Authentic musical poetry!" DOWNTOWN MUSIC GALLERY Bruce Lee Gallanter "Each song has a riff to remember with a great groove as well. It is those swell rock/jazz melodies that stand out throughout. This music seems to have more in common with contemporary rock music (like Radiohead or Wilco) than with most jazz although the solos are in between any established genres." JAZZ REVIEW Dave Wayne "Superb!" MESCALINA "A masterpiece! The very best we happened to listen to in the current Year!" CORRIERE DELLA SERA "Brave, Irriverent and genius!"
