Percussionist Toni Esposito is pretty much forgotten now, but in the mid 70's he released four very good to excellent albums of Italian jazz/rock. He eventually ended up as a semi-member of Perigeo, performing excellently on at least one of their albums. This was his first album and one of his best, a 1974 effort that I believe has never been reissued on CD before! Along with Toni's 'bag of percussive tricks', there are excellent performances by Paul Buckmaster (ARP Odyssey, grand piano, Fender Rhodes), Gigi De Rienzo (eletric & acoustic guitars, bass), Mark Harris (Fender Rhodes), Robert Fix (soprano sax) and Bruno Limone (bass). Really nice fusion with a nice 'groove'; recommended to fans of early Weather Report, Perigeo, etc.
