Incredible work from this legendary Italian drummer -- a set that bristles with all the sharp edges and soulful moments of some of Art Blakey's best albums from the 50s! Cuppini's working here in a number of different settings, all of them great -- with players who include Lars Gullin on baritone sax, Oscar Valdambrini or Sergio Fanni on trumpet, Gianni Basso or Eraldo Volante on tenor sax, Giorgio Azzolini on bass, and Ettore Righelo on piano. Tracks are short, but nicely hard-edged -- and Cuppini's drums have a blazing boldness we don't always hear on other records -- a great sense of power that really sets the scene for the tunes. The horn solos are all great -- especially some of the Basso-Valdambrini interplay -- and titles include "Duo", "Bernie's Tune", "Il Nord", "Topsy", "L'Uomo Dal Bracco D'Oro", "Lover Man", "Walkin", and "I'll Remember April". Also include "The Drums" -- which is a cool piece with a spoken recitation in Italian!.
