So far, 2019 also looks promising and kicks off with releases ...

The London Ontological Orchestra: Hello Cleveland!: The London Ontological Orchestra Plays the Music of Spinal Tap
by Geno Thackara
The band may have been fictional, but the music is all real—and turns out to have an impressive staying power, even today.

Franco Ambrosetti: The Nearness Of You
by Angelo Leonardi
Il pregio di quest'album risiede nella ricercatezza dei suoi percorsi melodici, esaltati dal lirico flicorno di Franco Ambrosetti e dalle raffinate orchestrazioni di Massimo Nunzi e Gianni Ferrio. Il riferimento implicito è l'opera di Miles Davis con Gil Evans ma la cosa non sminuisce il fascino del lavoro che avvolge l'ascoltatore con la fragranza dei timbri ...
