Залит Kaleidon/(1973)Free_Love(1994)

Очень неплохой джаз/джаз-рок/фьюджиновый коллектив из Италии. Практически джаз. Напоминает Везер Репорт.
К сожалению, ещё до выхода пластинки двое основных участников группы погибли в катастрофе. Оставшиеся выпустили эту пластинку, но продолжать не стали.
Любителям стиля - рекомендую.

Despite strong differences in their musical style, these groups are often mentioned together because KALEIDON came out from the ashes of the promising FREE LOVE after two of these band's members died in a car accident. One of the surviving members, Stefano Sabatini, formed the new group that dedicated their only album in 1973 to the old band.

Born at the end of the 60's in Rome, FREE LOVE only released two good rock singles in their short career, one of which was used as soundtrack to a spaghetti-western film. They seemed to have a very promising career ahead, as demonstrated by their participation to Rome Caracalla Pop festival in 1971, but two of the band's members, Gianni Caia and Steve Stogel, died in a road accident and the other disbanded. Around two years later, keyboardist Sabatini formed KALEIDON, whose only album was in fact entitled "Free Love"; totally instrumental, strongly veering toward jazz, it went totally unnoticed, with the band having a strong line-up change right after its release and splitting after the fourth edition of the "Festival d'Avanguardia e Nuove Tendenze" held in Rome in June 1974.

After leaving KALEIDON, bassist Franco Tallarita joined Ut. Нis replacement Gianni Colaiacomo later played with BANCO DEL MUTUO SOCCORSO. The last KALEIDON drummer, Francesco Froggio Francica, had previously played with RACCOMANDATA CON RICEVUTA DI RITORNO and shortly PROCESSION. Stefano Sabatini was involved in the short-lived SAMADНI supergroup and later MEDITERRANEO (featuring some ex-SAMADНI members), in 1978 he moved to Los Angeles where he played with many important jazz musicians, and after returning to Italy in 1982 he has had an intense activity in the jazz field.
