Post Description

Studio Album, released in 1974, Italy.

Debuut album van deze jazzrock/Fusion band uit Italie.

Outstanding fusion band from Italy. All the power delivered by the insane drumming of Furio CHIRICO is counterpointted by the beautiful violin passages, as well as the killer guitar work. On their early albums, ARTI e MESTIERI made a dynamic, complex and elaborately crafted rock, folk, and fusion blend, that featured much violin and keyboards.

ARTI & MESTIERI, considered one of the most influent cult bands in the italian and european prog scene will astonish the audience confirming, 25 years after its release, that "TILT" is still a milestone for two generations of fans. Both albums that came out on CD, "Tilt" and "Giro Di Valzer Per Domani", are real masterpieces of the genre. A real must for all fusion lovers! 

The first work released in 1974 "Tilt". Album recorded by six members including violin and wind instrument. It is a present from Italy. Extraordinary masterpiece where rich music is enclosed. The sound is symphonic jazz-rock. There is a rich poetic sentiment in all melodies. It is keeps straight, simple, and there no complex construction though it is variegated music. It is a great masterpiece of symphonic jazz- rock, and one of the eminent masterpieces of Italian rock.
