Post Description

Studio Album, released in 1978, Italy.

Enige album van deze Italiaanse jazz-rock/fusion band.

A five-piece band from Florence that only released an album. Their drummer Mauro Sarti had previously played with CAMPO DI MARTE.

The LP, released by Cramps in 1978, included four long instrumental tracks in a typical jazz-rock style, with nice horn arrangements and good guitar, keyboards and sax solo parts. After a line-up change, and despite a good live activity, the band disappeared in the fertile florentine new wave scene of the late seventies. This one and only record by this band is an awesome gem within the Italian Fusion scene. Really a pity that these great musicians disappeared somewhere in the diaspora. 

Bella Band (questionable name - isn't it?) was good one-record jazzrock outfit from Firenze (Florence), Italy. On this only item we can hear four longish tracks with dignified arrangements. Can't prefer anything of these compositions but... correct and dense music here - with colourful soundspectrum (they used clavinet, el. piano, synths, flute, sax, clarinet + guitar, bass, drums). Pleasurable listening!
