Italian Jazz Bassist's 1970 Album Reissued on Vinyl LP!
Full Session Restored from the Original Tapes Found & Digitally Remastered!
Reissue, originally released in 1970. Giovanni Tommaso is the greatest Italian jazz bassist and founder and member of the most important-ever Italian jazz rock ensembles, the Perigeo band. He composed Indefinitive Atmosphere at the end of 1969, released a few months after in 1970 on the Sermi label, and recorded it at RCA studios in Rome. Indefinitive Atmosphere represents a special album for him, since it was his first album released as a sole composer/artist. The maestro dug in his personal archives for Sonor Music Editions and finally found a copy of the original master tape containing part of the recordings. Besides the misspelled title "Indefinitive" instead of "Indefinite," adding to the legend here, this album was incredibly ahead of its time. The young maestro Tommaso played electric bass and contrabass in a studio ensemble with a strings section. Plenty of stunning jazz-funk, jazz-rock and free jazz tracks. The session is also known for including the legendary American jazz soprano saxophonist Steve Lacy on the track called "Steve," where he plays a sax solo. Full session restored from the original tapes found and digitally remastered for a greater sound experience.
