The finest ingredients characterize this record: pure analog production (AAA), tube microphones and an Ampex tape machine. And this is how it sounds, the "Foné 35th Anniversary". If, for example, the famous track "The Lady Is A Tramp" causes goose bumps: as realistic as the singer Gaby Cole and the percussionist Marco Pezzenati are in the room and the force of the drums is almost overwhelming, that is quite a big (listening) cinema ! 5/5 Sound Vinylde
On the occasion of his label's 35th anniversary, fonè's Giulio Cesare Ricci wanted to realize an album dedicated to jazz. "In these years I have recorded many ensembles: duo / trio / big band/quartet. The peculiarity of this album is that I 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 an homogeneous, natural, dynamic and realistic sound in all the songs even if recorded in different years and this particularity makes this album unique," Ricci says.
