Mauro Ottolini - Sousaphonix (2009)

"Mauro Ottolini is a multi-instrumentalist and his music – rising from the brass he blows into – is multi-stylist. The use of a variable trombone and its mutes, the flashing slide trumpet and the full-bodied, but agile saxophone inspires Ottolini to create pieces that express his complex personality, the result of a personal history of sound that includes classical, operatic, popular, jazz and Afro-American music". (Luigi Onori)
