This album is part of the recordings that Giulio Cesare made on the occasion of the concerts of the fonè Music Festival Piaggio edition 2022 organized by himself.
The location chosen is the Piaggio Auditorium located inside the famous Pontedera Museum, the place where Piaggio was born and where it still continues to produce today.
In CINERAMA the protagonists are 4 extraordinary musicians Scott Hamilton sax, Paolo Birro piano, Aldo Zunino double bass and Alfred Kramer drums. Scott Hamilton, who for many years has been performing on the best stages around the world as the leader of his quartet or alongside other sacred monsters of jazz, is an interpreter of extraordinarily elegant music, based on impeccable phrasing and a fascinating sound, which already in the seventies, when the widespread trend was to explore particularly aggressive sound alternatives, imposed him for the sweetness of his saxophone and creative imagination.
The album contains 9 tracks taken from famous films, including: Three Coins In The Fountain (1954), On Green Dolphin Street (1947), Close Enough For Love (1979) etc…..
The album gives continuity to the extraordinary recording project that Scott Hamilton wanted to begin with Giulio Cesare Ricci / fonè records starting in 2012.
For this recording Giulio Cesare Ricci brought all his equipment, both analog (Ampex ATR 102 Electronic Tube Ampex Model 351-1965, 2 tracks, ½”, 30ips modified by David Manley) and digital (Pyramix Recorder, dCS A/D and D/A converters).
This is because for each recording Giulio Cesare Ricci creates two Masters: an analog master for vinyl, Tapes and a DSD digital master for SuperAudioCD.
A "state of the art" system without sound manipulation, equalization, reverb, compression and expansion... but natural sound and true timbre to best enhance the acoustics of the Auditorium of the Piaggio Museum.
All this to create recordings characterized by technological refinement and aimed at recovering the original musical atmospheres.
Also for this recording Ricci used a "field effect" recording technique... all this to make the listener relive in his home hi-fi system, the live effect as if he had been present at the performance.
The mastering was made using the entirely analog and valve Signoricci system.
