3 stars for a strong and quite original debut...

A very important jazz rock band from Italy,almost equal to AREA in terms of music value.They were formed in Rome in 1971 and soon after they were signed by RCA Label,which released their debut ''Azimut'' in 1972.Entirely written by bassist/vocalist Giovanni Tommaso,the album is quite experimental considering the time of its release,containing six jazz rock-oriented compositions with a very smooth sound characterized by the distinctive saxes and the atmospheric slow-tempo electric piano parts,without lacking in tension through some crazy moments of improvisations.There is also an intense spacey feeling during the listening,while some vocal parts are sung in a style close to byzantine hymns,making the whole effort even more thrilling.Fans of bands like WEATHER REPORT or NUCLEUS should simply check this out.A very promising start!
