Swiss trumpeter Franco Ambrosetti, who has been active since the early 60's in groups with Giorgio Azzolini and Franco Tonani, and also participated in ECM's 1981 release as a member of the Miroslav Vitous Group. This is a leader album released in 1984. He plays straightforward hard bop, but his performance is full of spirituality in the vein of John Coltrane with smoky players such as Mike Brecker, John Clark, Kenny Kirkland, Buster Williams, Daniel Humair, and so on. The final track, B2, composed by George Gruntz, is also very beautiful.
B1: Atisiul
B2: More Wings for Wheelers
