“ I can rest assure knowing the music will be fun and swinging if Andrea Caruso is on the gig!” – Gene Jackson
“I know of Andrea’s work from our working together on materials he referred to in my books that he used in his master thesis.

He is among the finest world class musicians I have had the pleasure to know.” – Ron Miller
“Working with Andrea is pure joy. He is a consummate musician who works carefully, musically, and efficiently in rehearsals.

Breaux, Assistan professor of music at New York University
“Andrea Caruso is one of my favorite bass players in Europe and beyond. I met him as a young student at the Orsara summer jazz school almost a decade ago, and over the years, I have seen him blossom into an accomplished professional bassist, with a formidable intonation, elegant improvisational ideas, a great command of the bow, and a committed dedication to the art of composing new music. I can’t wait to see his career unfold to greater heights in the years to come.” – Marco Panascia
“l’ve gotten to know Andrea, here in Holland, as an extremely talented bass player who is interested in expressing his personal voice, whether it’s in classical music or in improvised jazz. His technical abilities on his instrument, besides his tasteful ideas make him a musician l want to play with much more.” – Rembrandt Frerichs – pianist/composer
“What you need in your rhythm section, especially when on stage, is a colleague with skills in communication, musicality, personality, and when playing with Andrea, you get the technique for free, no extra charges.” – Jasper Soffers
“For me Andrea is the student every teacher would like to have… Because it makes you a better teacher and it makes you appear as a great teacher.
But the lucky part is that from students like him you can learn your lessons way better than you did in the past by yourself…
And in my experience that’s very rare…” – Maurizio Rolli
