Jazz In Italy
Label: Honey Pie Records (Italy)
Catalog: HONEY 051LP
This compilation comes as a perfect introduction to vintage Italian jazz. A fine selection of some of the best Italian mainstream jazz masters of the sixties and seventies such as the young trumpet genius of Enrico Rava, or maverick film music composer Piero Umiliani, whose jazz influence is well known worldwide. Throughout this record you will bump into both famous and obscure swing/bop stylists of the likes of bass player, Giorgio Azzolini, trombonist Dino Piana, tenor saxophonist Gianni Basso, and drummer Gil Cuppini, a bunch of true pioneers who made the sound of Italian jazz. Also features Maurizio Lama Trio, Sergio Fanni And His All Stars, Attilio Donadio, Franco Mondini, and Modern Jazz Gang.
