Standards Lost & Found Vol 1 (Gate) [180 Gram] (Ita), Gato Barbieri, Vinyl

Double vinyl LP pressing. The release of these recordings fills a gap in Barbieri's discography. The artist we met in his first work as a single leader, In Search Of The Mystery (1967), moved in the realm of pure improvisation, going in the direction of the spirituality of Albert Ayler and Pharoah Sanders. In the Roman sessions, however, Barbieri recovers his original matrix deeply rooted in the language of John Coltrane and, in part, in that of the early Ornette Coleman. To some extent it is a completely new Barbieri that emerges from these recordings.
