Gian Piero Reverberi Timer 1976 LP 1st Pressing Gatefold New Trolls
Great Progressive Cortex-like Jazz-Funk beast (with some nice Dusty Fingers-styled tracks) from Italy's Gian-Piero Reverberi (New Trolls, Lucio Battisti, and ex-member of Le Orme).
Gian-Piero Reverberi (keyboards, harmonica, wa-wa), New Trolls drummer Tullio De Piscopo (drums, percussion), Marco Zoccheddu (electric guitar), Hugo Heredia (flutes, saxes) and Stevie Wonder's percussionist Larry Latimer (percussion). Also features the Milan Symphony Orchestra (conducted by Reverberi)
After obtaining Diplomas in piano and composition from the Paganini Conservatory in Genoa, Reverberi worked in a wide range of media, including TV themes, spaghetti Western soundtracks to pop and rock records, where alongside Robert Mellin he composed the memorable theme music to the children's TV series The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe in 1964. He created the Rondò Veneziano ensemble. He also worked with his brother Gianfranco Reverberi on the song "Last Man Standing" (or "Nel cimitero di Tucson") from the soundtrack of Django, Prepare a Coffin (Preparati la bara!), which was sampled in Gnarls Barkley's hit "Crazy".
As a producer, Reverberi worked for New Trolls and Le Orme progressive rock bands, being also listed as one of the official members of the latter for a short stint. In the 1960s-1970s he was also the producer of several albums of singer-songwriters such as Lucio Battisti, Fabrizio De André, Luigi Tenco and Gino Paoli.
In 1979, he founded the Rondò Veneziano chamber orchestra, which he has led ever since, having been the main composer, arranger, and conductor of the group. They play original instruments, incorporating a modern rock-style rhythm section comprising synthesizer, bass guitar and drums.
