[Tom Storer]

Wow. I guess the moral is that there is definitely a jazz zeitgeist--lots of people around the world exploring the same kinds of things at the same time. A very good and interesting pair of CDs, Luca, and refreshingly non-US-centric. Thank you!

Thanks Mike

Luca - is that track typical of the whole album or an oddball?

MG

[JSngry]

Garxone! No wonder!

Garxone! No wonder!

I've never heard of him. Is there other stuff by him that I should be interested in?

If you care for a fairly avant-garde Hammond CD, try Jeff Palmer's "Opposite Voltage" with George Garzone on Music Artists Co.. This CD is not easy to get - I think Cadence was the only online shop carrying it.

His solo saxophone CD has a good reputation, too.

[JSngry]

Garzone's kind of an "underground" player in a lot of ways. He consistently straddles the line between the Post-Trane "inside" school of harmony-based playing and outright free playing. His playing almost always gets to me in a way that few, if any, of those type players do.

Don't know how much you'd be into it, MG, but there's a DIW side called Pink Inc. that's a trio of Garzone, Jamaaladeen Tacuma, & Alex Deutsch that's a really good "inside-out funk/fusion power trio" side.

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Thanks very much folks - I'll look into these.

Amazon UK had a cheap copy. Worth a try for a fiver.

I got the Leucasia disc last week - it is one of the best folklore/jazz fusions I have ever heard.

Mille grazie for the recommendation, Luca - I will order another copy for my cousin whose daughter lives in Florence - her partner is from Sardegna.

I've listened to this a few times now. It's kind of odd, and changes from Trane to Funk, but I do like it. Thanks, Jim.

I'll give Pink,Inc. a try - and some other Garzone. Jim's description of his characteristics is pretty much on point.

The guitarist and piano player from Leucasia (Stefano Micarelli and Marco Omicini) have a long standing partnership with Garzone since 1990. They've recorded together quite a bit under the name of B.S.A.A., whose two CDs have been released in Italy by Via Veneto.

The group here is an octet, with George Garzone, tenor; Sandro Satta, alto; Claudio Corvini, trumpet; Francesco Lo Cascio, vibes; Stefano Micarelli, guitar; Marco Omicini, piano; Steve Cantarano, bass; Maurizio Rizzuto or Bob Gullotti, drums.

Quite different records from Leucasia, of course, more on the Mingus side of things.

Luca

[mikeweil]

Looks quite interesting - I like Mingus type bands. Mille grazie ancora!

[mikeweil]

This opens up too many possibilities: just ordered another CD "Boom Boom Language" with vibist Francesco Lo Cascio who is in this B.S.A.A. band .... what does that abbreviation stand for, BTW?
