CLICK HERE AND LISTEN TO THE SOUNDCLIP / MP3  

DIRE No. 2 Lp by THE FLAVIO AMBROSETTI JAZZ STARS production and artistic direction by TITO FONTANA. Original Italian 1st pressing on the DIRE label (FO 334), from circa 1968. Incredible Lp by the cult musicians, recorded in Milan, September 1967 and released with iconic picture sleeve artwork. A really stylish session that cooks and burns, mixing up beautiful modern jazz with hard bop / modal / exotic and elements of the free jazz movement of the period. Every track is superb. Our soundclip opens with the George Gruntz penned theme SUNDAY WALK followed by the stunning, Japanese inspired ballad, SANKUTSU MOOD / CHEOPS and finishes with the contemporary / harder edged DIG O DAD. Shades of the Santucci Scoppa sound by Flavio and Franco. Immaculate playing with fantastic solos over a rhythm section featuring some of the hottest French jazzmen. Laminated gatefold sleeve with liner notes by Arrigo Polillo and amazing images of the group inside. Short, notated message and autograph by Franco Ambrosetti (of A Jazz Portrait Durium label fame) inside the gatefold. One for the euro jazz connoisseur and seldom heard too ;) Pop art inspired sleeve artwork by Giulio Confalonieri. Rare Lp!!! Full tracklisting: OUR SUITE DIG / CHEOPS / DIG O DAD / SUNDAY WALK / SANKUTSU MOOD / CAPRICCI CAVALLESCHI
