A hidden gem of the 1980s Italian underground, Cenerentola is a masterclass in avant-garde expression. Released on the cult label Letichetta, this LP captures Praxis at the peak of their improvisational powers.

Moving far beyond the boundaries of traditional jazz, the album unfolds across two sprawling tracks of pure sonic exploration. Featuring the brilliant Pino Minafra, the performance is a tightrope walk between tension and release, blending frantic free-jazz energy with moments of haunting abstraction.

For fans of European free improv and radical Italian jazz, this is more than just a record—it’s a rare document of a scene that dared to break every rule. A must-have for serious crate-diggers and lovers of the unconventional.

Written-By – A. Sacchi, L. Giordano (A4, B4)

The 1972 instrumental album Love and Dance by Sandeman—a pseudonym for the composer trio Gian Piero Reverberi, Andrea Sacchi, and Laura Giordano—is now available in digital format.
A true product of its era, the album masterfully blends the adventurous spirit of prog rock and psychedelia with the soothing charm of easy listening.
It opens with a rock-oriented vibe, featuring the folksy “Sandeman,” the prog-inspired “Ice Rocks,” and the psychedelic “Blue Label.” The album then shifts into a more easy-listening style with the romantic ballad “Love and Dance” and dreamy tracks like “Soft Hands,” “Sweet Partner,” and “Leaving You.” The bossa nova-influenced “Low Lights” rounds out this eclectic musical journey.
