Azzolini's Spanish Portrait (LP sleeve edition)

Out Of Stock

Add Item to Want List
CD (Item 590064) Deja Vu (Italy), Late 60s — Condition: New Copy

Free-flowing magic from Italian bassist Giorgio Azzolini – hardly the Spanish-sounding album you might guess from the title – and instead, some of the best Italian modern jazz work we've ever heard! The group here is tremendous – and features Sergio Fanni on trumpet, Eraldo Volonte on tenor and soprano sax, and Franco D'Andrea on piano – all working beautifully with Azzolini's round, warm basslines guiding them through the tunes – a pulsating force that gives the album a tremendous sense of rhythm and humanity. The tracks are all quite long, but never as free or out as some of the work to come on the Italian Dire label – and Azzolini's got a great way of pulling the group together with force, then really letting them loose to do their own thing! Titles include "Ervo", "Spanish Portrait", "Vision", and "Summit Soul".  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
