Romano Mussolini Trio - Mirage (PDU Pld.A6018) M/M stone mint like new
Straight up -one of THE nicest albums I've come upon lately. An absolute masterpiece of funky Rhodes piano work done by the former son of Italian dictator Benito Mussolini. Romano's work on here is exemplery and whoever engineered this sucker deserves big credit too. The warmth of the Rhodes just melts through every track. The A-side begins with some cool, swinging, straightahead songs like "The Twitch" and "Omaggio A Oscar Peterson" but when you get to "Hong Kong", you get your first hint of what's to come. Super slinky and funky, like some Lalo Schifrin soundtrack stuff but drowning in the Rhodes tones. Then flip the disc and get down with the title track. After a long, slow intro, the song kicks it into gear with some hot bassline licks and strong drumming underneath. Groovadelic. Next cut "Blues for Alexandria" sparks with a tight open break, filled with some hot cymbal action and the track then just keeps on grooving along. This LP is the very definition of "soul jazz". It was reissued on Italy's Right Tempo but those copies are just as scarce to find nowadays as the original on Italy's PDU.
