Tullio de Piscopo ~ Italy ***REISSUED***

Tullio de Piscopo Revolt Group - Sotto e 'ncoppa. 1975 Carosello

Tullio de Piscopo Vol. 2. 1976 Carosello

***Both reissued by New Platform Aug 2022

De Piscopo is a well known jazz percussionist (to this day), who ventured into progressive fusion in the mid 1970s. First he played with The New Trolls, then he released these two fusion albums with some excellent Fender Rhodes, sax and guitar action. De Piscopo reminds me most of Toni Esposito's albums from the same era. Sotto e 'ncoppa features Sante Palumbo who was also on the Sway album. Vol. 2 is more diverse, mixing in period disco, acoustic folk, tight fusion, and rock versions of traditional Italian sing-a-longs. I felt this was the stronger of the two releases. Thanks to Midwest Mike!

UMR review page

Episode is quite a bit different than Information, and moves towards the center of the Euro fusion movement. But it's a really good example of the style, with tight playing and Hauru proves to be once again quite adept with the electric six stringer. As an aside, Jukka Linkola plays keyboards here, and he as well fronted a fine fusion album.
