LABORATORIO DELLA QUERCIA (HORO, 1978)






This record is similar to the London Jazz Composers Orchestra [> upcoming] sessions, as it features a large group , with individual players stepping out for solos from time to time.

There was an announcement about a reissue of the Horo catalogue. But apart of a few CDs (Rivers,Shepp, Sun Ra and Konitz/Solal duo), which are now - again? - OOP , we have still to wait until it eventually will happen.

Wish I could have been there!

great group, great recording,
when Rome was truly an "open city".

on HORO records, it's true, there was a lot of noise "for nothing"...

Sensational !
I have seen it listed in the [now mystical & sacred] Horo catalogue - but never seen a copy and never heard it. Until Now ! Am looking forward to it. Thank you.

Thanks very much for all your posts; extremely fascinating music and rare stuff

I hope you don't mind the following remark: I think there is "clipping" on this digitalized LP, i.e. analogue signals too strong when digitalized. But never mind, the music is still good.
best regards George

You are right - it's not my rip.
I tried to remove the clipping, but it didn't work properly - I think the original ripper gave too much "power" while digitizing the LP.

But I think it's better to have some "clipping" than no music at all!
