The Lost Tapes

Review by Veronica Timpanelli

Take a gloomy night in May 1981, plus a room not meant for recording, plus a piano destined

for the "keyboard cemetery", plus a sound engineer unfamiliar with the finer aspects of recording

and add to this three talented jazz artists playing original material and you have a strange concoction

indeed. If sound quality is all you want in a jazz recordings, please DO NOT listen to this album.

But, if you are a curious adventurous soul willing to look and listen past the technical imperfections

of the recorded production on the underlying artistic talent and unique content of these improvised

vehicles patterned after '50s-'60s "classic" jazz genre, then this is for you to review and hopefully enjoy!!

Recorded in 1981, this disc is a behind the scenes recording session: raw and real.
