28-UNIT4549074.1
The fourth and last good album by this Italian percussionist, who produced four very good to great jazz-rock albums in the 1970s, while also appearing as a guest with various ensembles (most notably Perigeo).
"Italian jazz drummer and percussionist. His self-titled first album belies a very strong "Bitches Brew"-era Miles Davis influence, and featured Miles' musical associate Paul Buckmaster (who later played Elton John's band!) on electric 'cello. Gente Distratta is a very sunny, tuneful and melodic, almost lightweight, jazz-fusion record, with a feel somewhat reminiscent of Weather Report, circa "Mysterious Traveller". La Banda de Sole continues in the same vein, but with a pronounced Mediterranean ethnic flavor (mandocellos, odd time signatures, lots of hand percussion, odd vocals) on some tracks."-Dave Wayne
