Originally a quartet, it expanded to a quintet in 1983 with the addition of trumpeter Pino Minafra. It was this expanded lineup that recorded their popular crowd pleaser Open Mouth Blues composed by the group's drummer Tiziano Tononi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ehe group's work is as lively as ever here, full of bold, affirmative moods and colours, and containing all the jazz we might call post-Mingusian, though not without emblematic archaic reminiscences; the crackling colours of marching bands, Minafra's muted trumpet style reminiscent of Ellingtonian jungle style, and Bonvini's generous trombone, echoing Roswell Rudd and Kid Ory. One can also hear the influence and spirit of Roland Kirk and The Art Ensemble of Chicago. Tiziano Tononi dedicated a memorable triple album to Roland Kirk titled We Did It, We Did It (Splasc(h) Records, 1999)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDaniele Cavallanti: tenor saxophone, baritone saxophone\u003cbr\u003ePino Minafra: trumpet, flugelhorn\u003cbr\u003eLuca Bonvini: trombone, sackbut\u003cbr\u003ePaolino Dalla Porta: bass, kalimba, tambourine\u003cbr\u003eTiziano Tononi: drums, percussion, marimba\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecorded at Barigozzi Studio, Milan, June 24 \u0026amp; 25, 1983.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracks: AMANITA MUSCARIA \/ OPEN MOUTH BLUES \/ NIGHT RAGA FALLS \/ SONG FOR THE SEALS \/ CLOWN'S CROWN (BONUS TRACK)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RED RECORDS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46590089265308,"sku":"RR1231692","price":14.88,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/3_c8a5f404-23a2-4add-a672-ccc401594edc.webp?v=1774554016","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/nexus-open-mouth-blues-cd","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
