Spirale - Spirale (1974) [mp3 256kbs][vynil rip][jazz rock] [TNT]

«Spirale was an obscure 70s italian jazz rock band from Turin. Their first and only self-titled LP is now very rare and never digitally remaster and could be compared in style to ethno-prog band such as Maad (Italy) or Embryo (Germany), an energetic jazz-rock ensemble excursion, with excellent brass arrangements and improvisation. Members: Peppe Caporello (Bass, Guitar), Giampaolo Ascolese (Drums), Corrado Nofri (Keyboards), Giancarlo Maurino (Sax, Flute) and Gaetano Delfini (Trumpet and vocals)»

«Released way back in 1974, the lone, self-titled effort from Spirale is an album notable for its lack of electronic instruments. It also has some of those loveable low-budget production flaws that are so often heard in obscure 1970s Italian progressive music, and the bass (mostly an upright from what I can tell) quite often seems charmingly out-of-tune. But this was an earnest and quite energetic jazz-rock ensemble excursion, with excellent brass arrangements and improvisation. Other instruments used include violin, drums, piano and various percussion instruments. There are some folk overtones on "Peparoncino," and the brief but pretty "Una Ballata per Yanes" seems to come as much from Vince Guaraldi as Dave Brubeck» Source wago & discogs
