Gaetano Liguori

Gaetano Liguori is a notable pioneer of free-jazz music in Italy, and his Collective Orchestra was a large ensemble he formed for the purpose of exploring the possibilities latent in the country’s young improvisers circa the mid-70s. This, the only album they recorded, still sounds fired-up and radically inventive today.
