Mario Rusca Quintet - Recreations In Jazz (1976)

A great un-earthed session never previously released by the great Italian pianist Mario Rusca. He is joined by the impressive saxophonist Larry Nocella and a very dynamic Italian rhythm section and percussionist. All tunes are penned and arranged by Mari Rusca and even though the pieces are quite short by today’s standards, they still give the group enough room to develop some very creative and entertaining jazz, enjoy!
