Mario Rusca Quartet - Suspension - CLE 21024 and three more...

In this post I published four volumes of CAROSELLO label, although for only one I can let you listen to music.

Let me explain:
the record of Mario Rusca, which gives the title to this post, and the next volume, the CLE 21025, Latineuro, release at name of Angel Pocho Gatti, are not in my collection, but at least they are in my wishlist.
The two subsequent volumes, the CLE 21026 and 21027, however, are a "mystery".
Also among the most "aggressive" Italian collectors, such as Lorenzo of Amarcord Records, these two chapters are missing, two pages torn out of the discography, two blacks holes of this Italian label.


I, among my various contacts, I've become aware of a single title of this, thanks to Felix, a Brazilian collector, who also sent me the cover.
According to Felix, in fact, the CLE 21027 is Zimbo, by ZIMBO TRIO, an album of latin jazz from Brasil, licensed by RGE/FERMATA and printed in Italy, on 1976, by CAROSELLO.
The CLE 21026 is, as yet, an unknown record, at least for me.


If any of you could confirm these data, or had some other news, he must know that would help a poor addicted collector of jazz.

However, you are quiet, that even if I don't have any of the four LPs, the Web is still a fat cow, for those who can cook, and I'll not leave you too long without good stuff ...

so thanks to ish, which gives us the delicious music of Mario Rusca directly from is amazing blog Ile Oxumaré

at the next...

Gigi Cichellero Big Band - Lonely Street - CLE 21023

The name of Gigi Cichellero, is probably not well known to lovers of Jazz, because he is better known as a RAI Orchestra conductor, author of music for "light" singers, as Johnny Dorelli or Tony Dallara, and director of television programs like "Canzonissima" or "Tempo di Musica", but his natural sense of swing is undeniable.

Many of the participants in this recording, however, do not need any introduction, and I'm referring to names like Dusko Goykovich, Sergio Fanni, Attilio Donadio, Ettore Righello, Pasquale Liguori and more.

Once curiosity, and concerns Gianluigi Trovesi, another participant in this session: this is the first album that he recorded.

Last but not least, a disc of jazz for big band, in Italy, is still a rarity.

Henghel Gualdi - NOW - CLE 21022

Henghel Gualdi was born in S Martino in Rio (Reggio Emilia) in July 1924.
Musically active since 1948, he was one of the few clarinetists of Italian jazz, with Glauco Masetti and Aurelio Ciarallo, the only two that can be remembered more than him, at least until the Seventies, when it appears Gianluigi Trovesi and, subsequently, Eugenio Colombo.

For many fans, Gualdi is "only" a light musician, nevertheless his historic meeting with jazz musicians such as William Righi, Roberto Nicolosi, Giampiero Boneschi, Romano Mussolini and Gil Cuppini, just to name a few.
Also, I would remember that he has given memorable concerts with iternational stras as Sidney Bechet, Bill Coleman, Albert Nicholas, Jean-Luc Ponty, Stephane Grappelli, Teddy Wilson, Lionel Hampton and Louis Armstrong.

If this were not enough, then you must listen to this record, to understand who is really Henghel Gualdi, who was born in the USA would be appointed "King of Swing" while, he was born in Italy, unfortunately, was almost forgotten ...

Eraldo Volonté Quartet - SAFARI - CLE 21021

Should be unnecessary to mention Eraldo Volonté, given its continued and constant presence on the development of Italian jazz, but unfortunately it's not so, since he is still "unknown" to most of you.

Eraldo Volonté is a veteran of italian jazz: he is one of those characters that are always seen wherever there is good jazz to play or listen to.

With a difference from many pioneers, however, Volonté has never lost even a shred of his enthusiasm, even if he has been playing professionally for more than a quarter of a century and like almost all of is colleagues, in Italy, has had to adapt and be part of an infinite number of bands playing all types of music.

His enthusiasm has kept him young, alive, very alert towards all that happens around him, and it has allowed him to continuously perfect himself, and to refresh his own stile : so much so that today this Milanese saxophone player can easily boast to still be one of the top musicians - that is one of the most modern, and most up to date - of italian jazz.

Among his important records, milestones in the maturity of the Italian jazz, I like to remember, in addition to this "My Point of View" (1963) with Renato Sellani, Giorgio Azzolini e Lionello Bionda, "Jazz [now] in Italy" (1966) with Dino Piana, Franco D'Andrea, Giovanni Tommaso and Franco Tonani and the best "Free and Loose" (1968) with Oscar Valdambrini, still Piana and Azzolini, and Franco Manzecchi.
