On the occasion of 35° fonè Anniversary, Giulio Cesare Ricci wanted to realize an album dedicated to jazz. 

In these years he recorded many ensemles: duo / trio / big band / quartet.

The peculiarity of this album is that Giulio Cesare Ricci chose a track for each jazz production realized over the years .. each recording had different artists, different recording locations but one thing was constant, Giulio Cesare Ricci and his analog and tube Recording System. When you will listen to it, you will hear a homogeneous, natural, dynamic and realistic sound in all the songs even if recorded in different years and this particularity makes this album unique.
