A rare European date from reedman Buddy Collette and arguably one of his hippest albums ever! The set was recorded in Milan in 1961, and features a great lineup not only of Italian players, but which also includes the legendary Dusko Goykovich on trumpet bringing in a nicely harder sound next to Buddy's work on flute and alto sax! Tracks have a well-arranged feel the tighter structures of the Italian jazz scene of the time, but with sharper edges than Buddy's 50s work in LA and given that Collette wrote nearly every number on the set, the album's a great discovery of his deep talents as a writer. In addition to Goykovich on trumpet, other musicians include Renato Sellani on piano, Dino Piana on trombone, Jimmy Pratt on drums, Gianni Basso on tenor, and Franco Cerri on guitar and Armshed Shobey plays a bit of bongos on a few tracks, adding in a nicely exotic feel. Titles include "Skater For Mater", "Blues", "A Taste Of Fresh Air", "Pickford Street", "Paddy", and "Blues For Nicola".© 1996-2021, Dusty Groove, Inc. https://www.dustygroove.com/item/749893/Buddy-Collette:Polyhedric
