CADMO & Massimo Urbani - Flying over Ortobene mount on July Seventy-seven

I CADMO born in Alghero (Sassari, Sardinia) in 1973 as a quintet which soon became a trio, consisting of Riccardo Lai on electric bass and Mario Paliano on drums, as well Antonello Salis on piano and Hammond organ.

I CADMO are remembered as one of the most original of the Italian scene of those years, capable of blending progressive rock with free jazz and traditional music from Sardinia.

In 1975 the three moved to Rome, where they performed at the Music Inn, the most important jazz club in town, and begin to come into contact with the musicians of the Roman scene.

In the same year i CADMO recorded in the studio the first of their two albums, entitled "Boomerang."
In 1975 i CADMO cooperate with Massimo Urbani, Maurizio Giammarco, Tommaso Vittorini, Enzo Pietropaoli and Roberto Gatto, and, in the same year, recorded their second album, "Flying over Ortobene mount on July Seventy-seven" and known in Rome Lester Bowie.

This meeting will deeply mark the group.

Later, played with CADMO also Sandro Satta and Danilo Terenzi.
