Horrible cover, beautiful music! The Italian band Jumbo made three albums in the Seventies, this is their first. The focus is on the raw and expressive voice from singer Alvaro Fella, from whispering to screaming, he colours the music from Jumbo. Signori Fella also plays acoustic guitar and is the main composer. This album starts with the long composition "Suite per il sign. K" (at about 20 minutes), it contains many shifting moods, breaks and soli and the use of a wide range of instruments, from piano, flute and mouth organ to heavy floods of organ and heavy electric guitar. Then the track "Miss Rand" that starts with bombastic organ work and then a swinging rhythm with catch piano play. The next song is "E. Butto sentirsi vecchi", it sounds dreamy featuring twanging acoustic guitar and cheerful flute work. The final composition is "Hai visto", a has a bit jazzy atmosphere and lots of soli on flute and organ. This is not a very elaborate or complex album, it simply sounds pleasant with lots of strong soli.
