First-ever reissue of this cult and extremely rare record by one of the leading musicians and composers of Italian jazz and cinematic music. Remastered from the original master tapes under the supervision of the Marinacci family (a family of 3 generations of musicians) and featuring extensive liner notes by Italian TV star Renzo Arbore and by Franco Marinacci, Carlo Fabbri and Max De Giovanni.
This album was recorded in 1972 in Piero Umiliani’s Sound Work Shop studio with a similar line up to the one of legendary ‘To-Day’s Sound’ album. 

After graduation, Marinacci began working with the most prestigious pop music ensembles and big bands of the RAI (the Italian state broadcasting company), especially in Turin and Rome. During this intense period he focused on baritone sax, flute and bass clarinet, working with great bandleaders and conductors like Armando Trovajoli, Ennio Morricone, Franco Ferrara, Gorni Kramer, Gianni Ferrio and Piero Piccioni. In 1950 Gino moved towards jazz and became part of the group of  Nunzio Rotondo, collaborating with some of the great talents of the time, such as Piero Umiliani, with whom he recorded the Piccola Suite Americana per Quattro Ance. He began to win awards for his work on baritone sax, becoming one of the leading players of that instrument on the Italian jazz scene. Also with Piero Umiliani, he recorded the soundtrack of the film ‘L’Audace Colpo dei Soliti Ignoti’, together with Chet Baker.
