JAZZ A CONFRONTO 17 - JAC'S ANTHOLOGY - HLL 101-17

In this anthology, published by Aldo Sinesio at the middle of the the story of HORO, we find some alternative path of previous volumes, such as Johnny Griffin and Sal Nistico, one "anticipation", because this was the track of Steve Grossman, on the date which this collection was put on the market, and a curious experiment.

Three of these pieces all came out of the same session, in which Franco Ambrosetti's quartet was recording, but in this case the various components of the quartet meved into a freer pattern, breaking the structure of the group, creating small nuclei.

JAZZ A CONFRONTO 16 - SAL NISTICO - HLL 101-16

Sal Nistico, born Salvatore Nistico 2 April 1938 in Syracuse (New York), died 3 March 1991 in Berne, Switzerland, was a jazz tenor saxophonist associated for many years in the mid-'60s with Woody Herman's Herd.


He started playing alto sax, switching to tenor in 1956 and briefly played baritone sax. In 1965, he joined Count Basie but returned on many occasions to play with Herman. He also played with Nat Adderley, Don Ellis, Stan Tracey, Chuck Mangione and Buddy Rich.

While not a well-known public figure, he was highly respected by his fellow tenor sax players as a “musicians' musician”. Sal's solo work contrasts his big band work. The solo work is more bebop oriented, as heard on the Heavyweights recordings.
