W starożytnym amfiteatrze Tasso della Quercia, umiejscowionym na zboczach wzgórza Gianicolo w Rzymie, latem 1978 roku powstało Labolatorium Improwizowanego Jazzu. Istniało tylko przez dwanaście dni, i mogłoby przepaść w ludzkiej niepamięci gdyby nie wydawnictwo, które właśnie ujrzało światło dzienne.
Alternative Fox na dwupłytowym winylu wydał właśnie ów materiał. To zaledwie siedem utworów, zaledwie 95 minut muzyki, ale jakaż to uczta dla fana kreatywnego jazzu!

Śmietanka włoskiej awangardowej sceny jazzowej, skupionych wokół Grande Elenco Musicisti (GEM), jak saksofoniści Tommaso Vittorini, Eugenio Colombo i Maurizio Giammarco, trębacze Enrico Rava i Alberto Corvini i puzonista/kompozytor Danilo Terenzi, wraz z tuzami światowej awangardy jak saksofoniści Steve Lacy, Steve Potts i Evan Parker, trębacz Kenny Wheeler, puzonista Roswell Rudd, pianista Frederick Rzewski, wiolonczelista Tristan Honsinger i perkusiści Paul Lytton i Noel McGhee.
Każdego dnia różne obsady z rewolucyjnym wigorem wygaszało barwy i sensy odchodzącego świata. A finałowy koncert galowy (to on właśnie został wydany na 2LP) stanowił kulminację tego transatlantyckiego eksperymentu.

Editor's info:
"A reissue of Laboratorio Della Quercia's self-titled released, originally released in 1979.

In the summer of 1978, an ambitious twelve-day experimental jazz project was undertaken at the ancient amphitheater, Tasso della Quercia, on the slopes of Rome's Gianicolo Hill. The idea was to assemble the leading players from Italy's avant-garde jazz scene, revolving around members of Grande Elenco Musicisti (or GEM), such as saxophonists Tommaso Vittorini, Eugenio Colombo, and Maurizio Giammarco, trumpeter Alberto Corvini and trombonist/composer Danilo Terenzi, together with visiting American players such as saxophonists Steve Lacy, Steve Potts, and Evan Parker, trombonist Roswell Rudd, pianist Frederick Rzewski, and drummer Noel McGhee, among others.

Different group configurations were enacted each day and the final gala concert formed the basis of this super rare and highly playful double album, which captures the delightfully messy proceedings. In keeping with the openness of the Roman jazz scene of the day, the project sought to push the boundaries, aiming to break big-band traditions whilst still emphasizing the collective nature of the experience.

Enrico Rava's opening "Tromblues" emphasizes the disparate approaches of these trans-Atlantic teams and Terenzi's "Dialogando" uses dual trombones to heighten musical discord, in mutated big-band mode, Giammarco's thrillingly complex "Vortex Waltz", and Vittorini's "La Legge E Uguale Per Tutti" both speak to the limitless potential that the project was aiming for."
