This is a reissue of a superb album by Italian Jazz bassist / composer Giovanni TommasoFind albums by this artist, recorded in a quintet setting for the crème de la crème of the Italian Jazz scene: saxophonist Massimo UrbaniFind albums by this artist, trumpeter Paolo FresuFind albums by this artist, pianist Danilo ReaFind albums by this artist and drummer Roberto GattoFind albums by this artist. The album presents seven tracks, all original compositions by Tommaso.
The music is absolutely divine, typical modern Italian Jazz, full of beautiful melodies and lyricism, and performed by the best musicians active at the time. A classic Jazz quintet, which offers a splendid opportunity to hear everybody up close. This album marks a new period in Tommaso’s activity, following years of activity with the Progressive Rock group PerigeoFind albums by this artist in the 1970s and switching full time into playing Jazz.
Overall, this is a classic Italian Jazz album, which captures a “supergroup” of local Jazz heroes, and which sound as fresh and beautiful as it did four decades ago, when this music was recorded.
