"Caselli plays with impeccable style and unerring tastefulness, affirming this writer's previous comparison to another remarkable pianist, the celebrated and seemingly ageless Marian McPartland."

“Alexandra Caselli at the piano... comps with the best, improvises on the ballads with a depth of feeling that can be felt in the soul of those that listen. When Caselli brings on the heat and gets into the blues.... the toes start tapping and the fingers start snapping. “

“Pianist Caselli, classically trained, who also writes some of the band’s original music, is a delight at the piano, creating moods with her mellow ballad stylings, setting the pace with bop, or for whatever is the call of the moment.”
-Bob Agnew, L.A. Jazz Scene
“Caselli’s piano backing was exquisite... The (York) quartet plays with a lot of charisma and soul. Hearing them is truly a musical reward.
-Glenn A. Mitchell, L.A. Jazz Scene
“Her tunes are some of the best written originals I’ve heard in years. Great feel, harmony that is hip and I love her time.”
Tim Price, saxophonist and educator
"Her touch moves from a Keith Jarrett sound to almost a Bill Evans sound (though not quite) to something entirely her own (perhaps even a bit of church music influence?)."
Adam Greenberg, <www.allmusic.com>
"Add to that great name the classical heritage of Muzio Clementi, the impressionistic philosophy of Lynne Arriale (by way of Bill Evans), and a great ear for melody, and you have the total package that is Ms. Caselli.... She plays with a double-fisted abandon that imparts a real orchestral sound to her trio."
C. Michael Bailey, <www.allaboutjazz.com>
"Caselli’s emotional response on ballads is a study in delicate sensitivity and her ardent fiery up tempos are marked by strong rhythms and free melodic improvisation....."
