MAXOPHONE

For me, Maxophone is Il Balletto di Bronzo with heart. Their first and only album is great. It is really rockin' progressive jazzrock. From the musical part of view this album is close to perfection. The guitar is heavy. The rest is exceptional. The opening track gives to listener everything this band is all about. Symphonic prog, some rock, some jazz... The best song is Fase opening with great heavy guitar riff and then, of course, some prog and jazz appeared. The band is trying to persuade the listener that the musicians are masters, so some nice acoustic track and passages are also included (e.g. Elseviro). Unlike Il Balletto di Bronzo the melodies are also included and the whole album is memorable. This is lost gem and it's highly recommended to any prog fan in the world.
