"This is a work that is mature and quite intense and is the sum of Parrini's musical thought: jazz that is dense with tints of autumn, lyrical and explorative, blessed with compositions of great impact and sparkling with measured solo moments.
"The Blessed Prince" speaks to us with proud and austere jazz: rigorous and severe, yet profoundly poetic.
Parrini is the leader of a quartet of men, friends and musicians who celebrate music as an inevitable life's mission and jazz as a evocative music that gives gifts of profound emotions."-Long Song Records
