"The music of Tolga is beautiful. Virtuosity and excellent technique are second only to beautiful melodic phrasing" - Peperoncino Jazz. A poetic and dynamic odyssey, with a distinctive European flavour.

"Tolga is a musician who combines a unique and arresting style with a masterful technique. His music is striking yet remains pure and uncluttered" Turkish Daily News

"Deserves a lot, a lot of airplay, because it is very refined, flawless and above all breathtakingly beautiful" Rootstime

Liberdjango was born in the heart of Romagna, an Italian region, where three musicians with a jazz background embark on a musical journey in search of beautiful melodies. True to their name, this trio expertly navigates through the timeless compositions of legends such as Astor Piazzolla and Django Reinhardt, while also paying homage to Italian composers like Ennio Morricone. These compositions have all been meticulously rearranged to suit the trio's unique style, and a significant portion of the repertoire is written by the trio members themselves. In every performance, they leave room for improvisation, infusing momentum and expressiveness into the concert. The outcome is a poetic and dynamic odyssey, with a distinctive European flavor. Despite their recent formation, Liberdjango has already received invitations to perform in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, Hungary, and Slovenia.

"The music of Tolga is beautiful. He has a natural ability to make seem simple what is not simple. Virtuosity and excellent technique are second only to his beautiful melodic phrasing; Tolga is a very recognizable musician: if I hear him on records or on a stage with other 20 guitarists, I distinguish his mood, his sound." Sasà Calabrese, Peperoncino Jazz
