by Ian Patterson
The cover of Greek composer/improvisor Panos Ghikas' Unrealtime certainly piques the curiosity regarding the musical content within the grooves. The title provides just a whiff of a clue.

Dopo l'iniziale “Delicious Moments," colpisce il “Salterello" che segue, visto che è esattamente quello a suo tempo rivisitato dal nostro Trovesi.
