Exciting 6

Out Of Stock

Add Item to Want List
LP (Item 443766) RCA/Deja Vu (Italy), 1967 — Condition: New Copy

The Exciting 6 here are the Basso-Valdambrini Sextet – one of Italy's hippest jazz combos of the 60s, heard here in a batch of groovers from the later half of the decade! The tracks are short, but they all pack plenty of punch – filled up with modal rhythms on piano, soaring horn parts on trumpet, tenor, and trombone – and grooving tremendously with a style that takes off from earlier Blue Note modes, but pushes the whole thing into the sounds of the European scene of the 60s! Players include Gianni Basso on tenor, Oscar Valdambrini on trumpet, Dino Piana on trombone, Giorgio Azzolino on bass, and Renato Sellani on piano – and titles include "Young Man", "Look Out", "Guernica", "Exotic", "Aura", "Leit Motiv", "Donna Lu", and "Nduma". (Super-heavy vinyl reissue – in a wonderful cover, and beautifully done! Please note: This sounds like it has been mastered from vinyl and therefore plays with some crackling.)  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
