» Marco Cappelli Acoustic Trio riunisce tre dei più attivi e versatili musicisti di Down—town New York attorno alla musica che il chitarrista napoletano, ormai da anni trapiantato a Brooklyn, ha scritto ispirandosi al mondo del romanzo giallo: dapprima dialogando con la scrittrice francese Fred Vargas e poi lavorando sul Commissario Ricciardi dello scrittore napoletano Maurizio De Giovanni. "Le stagioni del Commissario Ricciardi" (Tzadik) è stato registrato alla fine di un felice tour Italiano, negli studi Officine Meccaniche di Mauro Pagani.
