Release Notes:
This second album from Gruppo Jazz Marca is a
special gem: At the time when it came out it their
swing was compared with the one of McCoy Tyner and
Stanley Cowell. Great reviews from specialized
magazine like Jazz Journal, Down Beat & The Wire
have paid respect to the genius of Roberto Magris,
switching from different times and moods. "Three
Dorico Time2 is a biggie; it's going to be in the
specialized radio show for sure, with it's
cinematic vibe that could be easily the soundtrack
for some old 60s Cane's Spy Story. "Citta Di
Frontiera" is classic GJM. Dark and intriguing,
with the 3/4s theme moving on rapidly to swing. The
record was originally discovered by a DJ from Big
Bang, when he went to meet Magris and Polisseni's
son in Italy. It caused such a stir that led to a
chase to reissue the record as the original trio
had long since disbanded. Here it is in all it's
original glory, still sounding as fresh and
inspired as the day it was recorded. The few
collectors that have been able to get hold of this
record have been blown away by the feel of this
killing rhythm trio. It will definitely be a
treasure in the usual suspects' collections.
