Norberto Tamburrino articles, reviews:
“.the pianist leans toward Horace Silver's rhythmic spunk ("Latin Way..), Dave Burrell's playful revisionism and Bud Powell's linear drive; a live trio ends the album, bouncing straight-eight Lennie Tristano on "All The Things You Are".Tamburrino's Monkery shine broadly in unreconstructed rag and stride motifs and genial, spiky lyricism..”.
-Globe Unity by Fred Bouchard, All About Jazz New York -July 2009-

" ...Tamburrino occupies the same rhythmic sensibility as Monk; playing alone, he moves around the piano with just those pensive, eccentric footsteps, clatters, trips..”
-Prigioniero del Mare by Jay Deshpande, All About Jazz-March 2009

“..Tamburrino's piano playing, heavily influenced by Thelonious Monk, is ripe with percussive clatter and arpeggiatedflour. Indeed, the inclusion of Monk's overlooked ballad "We See" demonstrates Tamburrino's thorough understanding of the familiar nuances associated with the late pianist..”
-Deco by John Barron, All About Jazz -October 2008
