Description/Reviews: 

Inside “One of Us” there is their original sound of the 70’s, with some new tracks, perfectly matching with the style of the band. Among these tracks there is an homage to Greg Lake - a cover of the classic “Lucky Man”, here in an “extended” version with new parts, a new structure, arranged and produced by Beppe Crovella and Franco Frassinetti.  The CD begins with “Vintage Worms”, the opening of the original track “Vermi”, recorded in the 1972, as a reminder of their own roots. In the sound of “Struttura & Forma” is clear the presence of 70’s’ free outside the box creative research, with a strong fresh personality of who wants to bring on his creative dimension to our days.

Description/Reviews: 

Here is the most mature issue form one of the most interesting bands of the italian prog scene. Greenwall’s "Zappa Zippa Zuppa Zeppa!" has born directly as a multimedia project, as the CD and the DVD must be seen as a whole thing. Thanks to a wider musical vision, and to a variety of sources of inspiration, past and present of the band find a new path for convergence and continuity. You start with the baroque a cappella doggerel “Superpezzi” and end up with the reissue of King Crimson’s “Larks’ Tongues in Aspic – part 1”. A continue astonishment that grows up track by track, video by video.

Description/Reviews: 

In Turin starting with Arti & Mestieri, from the beginning of the 70's a real interchange of musicians from the areas of jazz and rock has been going on, so that it became a style, a distinctive feature of Turin, defined by critics as "jazz rock school of Turin" and from there came the idea of "Turin Jazz Rock School", or tjrs, a label that brings together more artistic musicians in this common direction.
The CD "Giallo Italiano" is the synthesis of seven years of the Light Trio. The training offers a repertoire of diverse origins, filtered by a slight sound, but of great emotional intensity. An eclectic music, intimate, but with "orchestral" and great rhythmic intensity that enhances the melodic composition that makes this album particularly "Italian".
Songs of Light Trio  pay homage to the language of jazz and Brazilian music, which often recur in the story and the music in the form of songs. Along with these primary influences, traces of ties with all the finest and authentic musical expression of the contemporary age are found, along with the echo of the common classical training.
