  • Description

    180g vinyl - gatefold sleeve - remastered from original analogue tapes.

    During 1983-86 US alto saxophonist Bobby Watson recorded fairly regularly for the Italian Red label. On this album he is joined by an obscure but talented Italian rhythm section called the Open Form Trio.

    Bobby Watson: "I want our music to reach people, so we try to include a little of everything from jazz: a little swing, some samba, funk, rock, things people hear on the radio".

    "This doesn't mean the music is diluted; on the contrary it is enriched, and everything here will appeal to the jazz ear". - Mark Gilbert

    Bobby Watson: alto and soprano saxophones
    Piero Bassini: piano
    Attilio Zanchi: bass
    Giampiero Prina: drums

    Produced by Sergio Veschi, Giancarlo Barigozzi, Milano,1985

    "A highpoint of the date is Watson's unaccompanied solo on 'If Bird Could See Me Now'. Other memorable selections on the well-rounded set include 'Watson's Blues', the ballad 'Always Missing You', and the spirited 'Funcalypso'. Bobby Watson (who doubles on soprano on this session) at that point in time was combining advanced hard bop with some influences from the avant-garde, carving out his own style. Recommended." - Scott Yanow, AllMusic
