A one-off from this particular grouping of luminaries of humanity, see the credits:
Alto Saxophone – Charlie Mariano
Bass, Cello – Paolo Damiani
Drums – Tony Oxley
Trumpet, Flugelhorn – Palle Mikkelborg
Vocals – Tiziana Ghiglioni
Bass, Cello – Paolo Damiani
Drums – Tony Oxley
Trumpet, Flugelhorn – Palle Mikkelborg
Vocals – Tiziana Ghiglioni
Mostly written by P. Damiani, with a contribution from Oxley and a raga from someone else. So there's no voice for our old fave, Mikkelborg, except in his improvs.
Although there are great composed beginnings to these tracks, they inevitably get bogged down in the long improvisations I've mentioned before I find tedious and unnecessary.
The start of side b has a song with lyrics which are printed in both Italian and English on the inner record sleeve, a poem that I conclude Paolo was quite proud of:

ReplyDeleteThank you very much! <3
I'm just sorry you don't particularly love oriental influences and improvised music because I love them ...
Oh well, no one is perfect (none of US, I mean :-P)
Have a nice week !
Collecting my thoughts, i remember instead that I had the LP "Trovesi Damiani Quintet - Roccellanea"

which I have always found BEAUTIFUL (me, of course) and years later i wanted to listen again with the same pleasure.
Cheers
