HORO 4 - FRANK ROSOLINO - HLL 101-04

Another missing records is added to this discography dedicated to Aldo Sinesio's label, always thanks to Alessandro, who wanted to share a little piece of his passion with us.

Frank Rosolino - August 20, 1926, Detroit, Michigan / November 26, 1978, Los Angeles, California - will be remembered and respected throughout the contemporary jazz world for his mastery of the trombone, his uncanny ability to fit and work successfully with a wide range of musical ideas, and perhaps last but not entirely forgotten, his wit and capacity for comic entertainment. There has seldom been a time when any single aspect of this amazingly complex individual was submerged for any great length of time. He was always the superb performer, upfront individually as a musician or commercially as an entertainer.

HORO 35 - PIERO UMILIANI & HIS ORCHESTRA - HLL 101-35

Here come the '70s and in full pop and rock age, Umiliani enters in his Sound Work Shop studio to record "Jazz A Confronto No. 35" on HORO label.

The album is a vibrant ode to Duke Ellington, played with friends Cicci Santucci, Nino Culasso, Marcello Boschi, Gianni Basso and other famous names in italian jazz.

Finally Umiliani, thirty years after finding that record forbidden called "Hot Duke" in a little shop in Florence, he feels ready to dedicate a tribute to his idol, his inspiration.

Those tracks will be reprinted in the 2000 CD "Ode to Duke Ellington" (Easy Tempo ET 935) with the addition of special versions of Ellington songs recorded by Umiliani in it's activities.

HORO 33 - LUIS AGUDO & AFONSO VIEIRA - HLL 101-33

The musicians who play in this record were often involved in jazz:
Afonso Vieira is the drummer in Irio De Paula's group and played with such jazzmen as Sal Nistico, Gato Barbieri, Steve Grossman and Archie Shepp;
Luis Agudo disclosed his incredible capabilities during some unforgettable performances with Elvin Jones' group.
So, no wonder if their names appear in this cover, especially in our days, when a lot of labels have turned into what they really are: words.

HORO 32 - LEE KONITZ - HLL 101-32

Lee Konitz (born October 13, 1927 in Chicago, Illinois) is an American jazz composer and saxophone player.

Konitz is sometimes regarded as the preeminent cool jazz saxophonist, because he performed and recorded with Claude Thornhill, Lennie Tristano and with Miles Davis on his epochal Birth of the Cool, which gave the form its name.

Konitz has also been repeatedly noted as one of the few jazz saxophonists of the late 1940s and 1950s who did not seem imitative of the massively influential Charlie Parker.
