"Gustavo Assis Brasil on guitar, Mauricio Zottarelli
on drums and David Pinto on bass from Berklee College of music have
taken their learning process to the next step and have create a
unique blend of jazz, funk, fusion, samba and everything else. The
playing is absolutely brilliant with rhythmic touches of Wayne Krantz
blended with very stunning compostions. The compostions are eclectic
with very mature musical ideas. The three musicians play to each
other pushing the musical barriers that has no real categorization.
A lot of music lovers are going to hear about these guys in the
near future. Check out their debut album. It is stunning. One of
the best new recordings we have heard this year."

"I was very impressed with this album. This CD
has a great mix of tunes from Fusion to Brazilian latin to tasty
brush playing. The sound recording was also very nicely produced.
Very Cool CD!"
George Shepherd - Drum ProJazz Magazine
" What impressed me right from the first listen
was the way the 3 of them play together, blending with a level of
sensitivity and group dynamic often lacking in bands with such highly
skilled individuals."

"Who is this Dig Trio that I speak of? How could I have the
nerve to relate them to jazz greats like Hancock and Corea? It wouldn’t
be fair to clump them in a group with other musicians because that
would hide Dig Trio’s uniqueness. In fact, I can safely say
that during these times of famous album reissues and old jazz greats
packing in small NYC clubs lies an original band, Dig Trio. Blending
jazz, funk, rock, and Latin with a hint of Brazilian into their
compositions, Dig Trio unleashes improvisations into their progressive
sound with ease."

"An outstanding blend of Brazilian, Jazz Rock
and experimental music. Essencial for fans of contemporary fusion!!"
Guitar Player Magazine, M. Okayama
“Feast your ears! The Dig Trio offers up a truly
special blend of jazz rock fusion music. Their musical explorations
into funk, samba, and swing, to name a few, show a deep respect
for their musical roots while pushing the envelope full speed ahead
in a modern direction. These are three superb musicians worth checking
out!”
Rod Morgenstein, legendary drummer
"Great CD! Strong grooves, beautiful compositions, and masterful
improvisations fusing a wide range of elements including Rock, Funk,
Latin, and Contemporary Jazz. A must for those interested in progressive
and lyrical instrumental music. An impressive display of power and
versatility from three very talented musicians."
Bret Willmott, guitar great, Berklee College of Music
