The ‘70s in Florence were a magical, complicated, underground, explosive, critical and extraordinary time alive with creative ferment, cultural ferment, musical ferment and youthful ferment. These are the years in which the sound of this city was born. The years of Bella Band, Sensation’s Fix, Spettri, Perigeo, Collettivo Victor Jara and none other than Insieme with Daniele Trambusti, Marco Lamioni, Nicola Vernuccio and Francesco Maccianti.
Following the discovery of tapes and a master recorded in the summer of 1976 in Franco Falsini’s Florence studio, these four artists set to work rewriting, revisiting and remixing with the goal of plunging us back into the world of Florentine jazz-rock – a world of rarefied sounds, soft sounds, nervous sounds, rhythmic breaks, sound effects and skilled and superb improvisations. A world of impeccable, rigorous, precise sounds and a metronomic melting pot, made up of elegance, collaboration and genius.
Insieme are a reference point for all those generations who lived and loved those dark and angry years, but still remain current and innovative today. Those years were formative and exciting, full of meaning, life experiences and travels. Listening to these songs, which are decades old, but still feel so current and modern, is an alien experience. It feel as if they just dropped out of the sky. This is an album with so much energy, passion and great strength, performed in memory of friends who are no longer with us.
