One of the few professional bands from the Marche, on the Adriatic side of central Italy, Agorà, which translates as ‘open space’, were formed in 1974 near Ancona, and played a jazz-rock that can easily be compared to a cross between their fellow countrymen Perigeo and also to Weather Report.
Their debut album was recorded at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1975, so this, their second, is the only studio album they released during their original lifetime, and is also the superior of their two releases.
