porcy62 Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Giorgio Gaslini passed away at the Borgotaro hospital. He was 84 years old. He was one the greatest italian musicians and composers. Sorry I found only italian links, I am sure later on the news will be english speaking websites. http://www.repubblica.it/spettacoli/musica/2014/07/29/news/la_scomparsa_di_giorgio_gaslini-92644559/?ref=HREC1-7 Gaslini website: http://www.giorgiogaslini.it/en/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Reynolds Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Skies of Europe forever He joins the great alto saxophonist of the orchestra Mario Schiano as late members of what I consider, at their zenith, one of 2 or 3 greatest large ensembles of the past 40 years.

Teasing the Korean Posted August 7, 2022 Report Share Posted August 7, 2022 I first became aware of Gaslini through his score for Antonioni's La Notte. I am now listening to his score for Un Amore, half of which is played by a jazz quartet with Gaslini on piano. Incredible stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
