The Artistry of Nunzio Rotondo - 1959

This is one of the finest Italian jazz records, published for the first time in 1959 by Walter Gürtler for the label Music.

In July of that year, after the album sold out, was reprinted in the "The Modern Jazz" series by Stella label.

In this series were published seven volumes, with previously published recordings on Music, by Bob Cooper, Bud Shank, Basso & Valdambrini and Buddy Collette, all recorded in Italy.

Then, finally, fifty years after, this masterpiece has been reissued on CD for the Japanese label DIW Records. In Italy, no one talks even more than Nunzio Rotondo.
