Praise for Parkside

“Alex Pinto’s ‘Parkside’ has presented a listening experience that is not only intimate, but also therapeutic. With styles comparable to Nels Cline, The Bad Plus, and even the great Muddy Waters, Pinto allows your mind to relax and dwell in his creativity.” - Earshot

“‘Parkside’ is exquisite. I know that’s not a word you usually associate with popular music, but there you are. - Nada Mucho

Praise for All India Permit

4.5 Stars out of 5 “…the EP is absolutely first-rate.” – All About Jazz

“Alex’s continued journey into Indian culture and music is resulting in some new and rewarding sounds!” – Rez Abbasi

“‘All India Permit’ is a fantastic step forward in multi-cultural musical experimentation.” – NME.in

“…colorful jazz, rock and Indian music fusion.” - GLM

 

Praise for Inner State

“Inner State is a rhythmically vital, modern jazz album that's constructed on a global stage, and introduces a guitar talent and composer with great promise.” - All About Jazz

“While many critics, academics and fans continue to debate about the demise of jazz, I continue to see signs to the contrary. One such example is 26 year old guitarist and composer, Alex Pinto. His debut album, "Inner State" illustrates the idea that, despite all the doom and gloom predictions regarding the future of jazz, there are still young people with creative voices yearning to be heard.” - Elements of Jazz

“Alex’s melodic guitar phrasing as well as his seamless blend of classical Indian music in the CD makes for a great listen.” -
