Andrea is such a chameleon. When I first heard his music, it struck me that he played drums, clarinet, percussion, keyboards and composed in a variety of styles that defied classification, moreover his display of sensitivity and creative approach to the work produced J.Kelman allaboutjazz Marcelli's compositions transcend simple melody, transporting the listener to places known and unknown, eliciting hidden emotions, represents something of a quantum leap for him as a player, but more notably as a writer.
