All About Jazz - USA
"Marco Sanguinetti has crafted an individual sound, with one foot in the populist jazz piano camp (e.g. Esbjorn Svensson's e.s.t.., GoGo Penguin) and the other in minimalist New Music (e.g. Nik Bärtsch, Steve Reich). It's an interesting place to be"
Troy Dostert
All About Jazz - USA
"Sanguinetti’s strategy largely
involves making subtle creative choices that tease out new
dimensions of the music"
Sammy Stein
Something Else Reviews - UK
"Listening to Marco Sanguinetti is like stepping through a portal into a world where strange rhythms, counterpoints and chords entwine to create mesmeric music I have ever heard"

"Marco Sanguinetti ha encontrado un sonido, una impronta, un estilo que le son propios, que le pertenecen, que lo identifican. El esqueleto de su música es el jazz, pero un jazz que se torna irreverente, desprejuiciado, rebelde, prepotente, desafiante, arriesgado, permeable"
Geno Thackara
All About Jazz - USA
"Argentinian pianist Marco Sanguinetti
lands firmly in the “honorable” category with this double CD (Cómo Desaparecer Completamente)"
Eyal Hareuveni
Salt Peanuts - ISR
"Sanguinetti matches beautifully classical, romantic music with the immediacy of jazz improvisations, and unpredictable yet always clever interventions by Migma"

"Si algo define y diferencia a Marco
Sanguinetti respecto del resto
de la escena jazzera local,
es su conciencia situacionista...
Él propone una deriva musical por la
psicogeografía porteña actual"
Santiago Giordano
Página 12 - ARG
"Uno de los nombres más interesantes de esa música que se produce en Buenos Aires y que, a la espera de rótulos más precisos, descansa en el término jazz"
César Pradines
Clarín - ARG
"De ese continuo proceso de expansión que vive la escena musical porteña,
el pianista y compositor Marco
Sanguinetti es uno de los artistas cuyos proyectos asoman con mayor fuerza”
