Umiliani, Piero
To-day's Sound (2lp)
Available again - Piero Umiliani's 'To-Day's Sound'! The album remains a powerful statement even fifty years later, embodying Piero Umiliani's commitment to staying at the forefront of musical innovation. In the summer of 1973, Umiliani gathered an extraordinary group of musicians in his cutting-edge Rome studio, reminiscent of Miles Davis' approach on 'Bitches Brew.' The session highlighted the unique timbre of his electronic instruments, a rarity in Italian studios at the time. The stellar lineup, known as 'Sound Workshoppers,' featured a blend of jazz veterans and pioneers who had the freedom to enrich Umiliani's compositions. The original masters, carefully preserved and transferred with advanced technology, revealed lost frequencies and restored the music's brilliance. Paradoxically, the sound Umiliani envisioned in 1973 can only now be fully realized, sounding more urgent, majestic, and alive than ever. Comes with poster.
