Vince Abbracciante: he is the italian rising star of the accordion, with a remarkable technique, a deep blues and swing feeling and plays with talent any kind of musical genres. (Italian Jazz Dictonary, 2014)
Richard Galliano, speaking about young accordionists in an interview, said: “The person that really impressed me is a young Italian with an origin from Puglia, Italy: his name is Vincenzo Abbracciante. In every piece he embarks on a story which touches me.” (Jazzman, 2005)
