Massimo Guantini – Diapositive

Loneos present a reissue of Massimo Guantini’s Diapositive, originally released in 1977. Beside the telluric year in pop music and culture, 1977 was still ranked as the future for Italian leftfield composers. Published by roman imprint Gemelli and credited to the elusive Massimo Guantini (none else than influential jazz player and composer Sandro Brugnolini), Diapositive is a fully cinematic journey in the realm of sci-fi and cool jazz. Fully produced at famous Roman Emmequattro Studios (home of many fascinating recordings by piano player Enrico Pieranunzi), the album is deeply rooted in the coolness of Italian libraries, showing an incredible musicianship. Fully adorned by a vibrant rhythm section, an acoustic piano, a clavinet, a Fender Rhodes, and proper “acid jazz” guitar-playing, this album will lift your mind and soul for good. 180 gram vinyl; obi; edition of 400.
