« Gagliardi is now a rising star on the Brooklyn jazz scene.» By Ron Netsky, Rochester City Newspaper.

One of his many gifts surrounds his ability to shape and build intensity» – By Dan Bylawsky, All About Jazz

John Kelman schreibt:
„…Marcellis Kompositionen transzendieren simple Melodien, die den Zuhörer zu bekannten und unbekannten Plätzen entführen, versteckte Emotionen ans Licht bringen… Da ist die Reife des Konzeptes, die klare Vision, die ‚Beyond the Blue’ zu einer Art Markenzeichen Marcellis wird.“
