This is the lost pearl, this is the most secret album coming from the ancient land of Sicily, the oyster island of the Mediterranean sea, on the borders of Italy.

No Holy Grails here, we are not at the crusades, but in the presence of one of the busiest ensembles on the Italian scene during the 70s and 80s of the last century, devoted to only one creed: To Play!

Enzo Randisi and his son Riccardo, take us into a world of visionary spiritual jazz atmospheres on the track "Windows", an opening towards a modern vision, a watershed between the live performances of standards American music at a new rate also in tracks like the 3/4 "Etna Sud" written by Riccardo Randisi for the album with digressions into Jazz Rock Rhythm à la Gary Barton and electrified funk which has its peak in the rendition of the Czech musician Karel Ruzicka and his "Probu Zeni" a killer club track that will smash your audio set-up!

The very last mystery from Italian jazz scene available for the first time in a precious gatefold sleeve handcrafted in Italy.

“There is no difference between them and the musicians I played with in the orchestras of Vienna, Paris, London or Toronto.” (Gil Evans)"

“The pieces we played were really difficult... Well Randisi and the orchestra performed with the utmost naturalness” (Archie Shepp)

“It was an extraordinary experience to have shared my music with Enzo Randisi’s orchestra, a rare ensemble capable of interpreting and expressing the idiom of jazz with uncommon strength and sensitivity.” (Eumir Deodato)
