It’s been said that music is the universal language, which is good for Clarks Summit native Nick Wight since his bandmates live thousands of miles away and speak minimal English.

JAZZ INSIDE MAGAZINE (USA)

These Human Beings is a noteworthy example of Italian and American jazz musicians coming together, and Vernizzi, Sgobbio and Wight have no problem finding common ground when it comes to both the post-bop elements and the avant-garde elements. Both the inside and the outside work to their creative advantage on These Human Beings. (Alex Henderson)

TRACCE DI JAZZ (ITALY)

A nice surprise which goes further than just a very well played album with fine solos. Here these three musicians take out uncommon and unused ideas, settings and suggestions, carrying the listener in some unexplored territories. You can really walk towards each step of this album, feeling the physical pleasure of the discovery. (roberto dell’ava)
