The argentinian tenorsaxophonist Gato Barbieri always had a particular feeling with Italy, also because was here that in 1962 was recorded his first anonymous solo in a pop song which was and still is a great hit "Sapore di Sale" by Gino Paoli,
and he was here many and many times for tournées and for recording sessions of albums and movie sound tracks, as "Last Tango in Paris" of italian director Bernardo Bertolucci. In the '70s he was very popular in Italy and all his albums were acclaimed hits.
Recently I have found some rare tracks recorded during two different concerts performed in Torino in that years.

Gato Barbieri at Swing Club in Torino (1972)I have some doubts on the dates found on the tracks, it's possible that the correct year is 1972, considering that different titles are from album Fenix recorded in 1971 and that Gato surely played at Swing Club in 1972.
Gato era un vero animale da palcoscenico, e la voce del suo sax ti prendeva nelle ossa.
RispondiEliminaTra le tante volte che l'ho visto in concerto, ne ricordo una a Milano, nel cortile del castello Sforzesco.
Il suo batterista si era fatto male, per fortuna
da quelle parti trovarono Han Bennink (!!!) che, da grande professionista, fece ala grande la sua parte.
Nei primi anni '70 è stato un mio idolo, avevo tutti i suoi dischi, "Bolivia" in particolare credo di averlo consumato a forza di sentirlo.
