Here we have an excellent compilation gleaned from Italian maestro trumpeter Paolo Fresu's prolific discography, especially so from his earlier albums. Many of the compositions appeared on his Italian Splasc(h) and French Owl and BMG/RCA Victor releases. This disc came bundled with the Musica Jazz Magazine and includes three unissued tracks. From 1985 till now he has been a force majeure on both the continent and abroad. There's not much more to add other than just sit back and enjoy!
