“The group has a swinging, soulful sound and the ability to work
grooves with cool precision…there’s a bit of McCoy Tyner in Antonio
Flinta’s attack and a touch of Bill Evans in his improvisations…This
trio takes its cues from the wide mainstream of American Jazz piano but
add their own distinctive energy to the sound”
..."a wonderful balance between technical proficiency, knowledge of
jazz history and contemporary creativity"
Antonio Flinta, pianist and composer
born in Chile, studied in Madrid and Rome before earning a
scholarship to attend the Berklee College of Music in Boston.
The Quartet featured in the new cd "Tamed" (2009), expands the expressive possibilities of an excellent trio with the contribution of longtime friend, the saxophonist Piercarlo Salvia, multi-instrumentalist and composer for theater, film and television.

Summit, Brasov Jazz Days, Bucarest EuropaFest, Sonvico in Jazz
