エリア88 -燃える蜃気楼- イメージ・アルバム

In 1975, Steve Potts left Steve Lacy to compose music for a friend's movie at the request of director Joaquin Lledo (AKA Joaquin Noessi) for the film Le Sujet ou le secretaire aux 1001 tiroirs (Subject or The Secretary of the 1001 Drawers). This original soundtrack from the cult film sees Potts joined by the musicians he played with regularly at the time, such as the aforementioned Steve Lacy Sextet, pianist Frank Abel and percussionist Donny Donable (Ice), as well as Elie Ferre and Christian Escoude on guitars plus Joss Basselli on accordion - among others. The production was overseen by Jef Gilson. Remastered from the original tapes with restored artwork, four page booklet and obi strip.

The “Serie Pegaso” catalog stems from the need to write music and lyrics that have a strong link with the city of Naples, that speak the same language and tell it through stories, loves and memories. There are countless stories and testimonies of people who left the "land of the sun" to migrate elsewhere in search of fortune and work but not many know that there is a small bird, the “Capinera”, which has instead decided to do the inverted path through a long journey from cold and distant lands to then settle and find a new home on Mount Vesuvius. But there is also another story, between reality and legend, which is that of the most beautiful woman in the neighborhood called by everyone 'A Capinera because of her long and enchanting black hair. She was a widow coveted and desired by all but she will remain faithful to her deceased husband throughout her life. The only source of livelihood for herself and her three children was the smuggling cigarette trade although she could choose and get whatever she wanted thanks to her irresistible beauty. This is what the creators of the Capinera project tell us, and they are: Gianpaolo Della Noce (better known as Dnapoli and half of the acclaimed diggers duo Napoli Segreta, Michele Cesare aka Breakstarr (one of the pillars of the city's beat makers scene) both assisted by the sharp voice of Adriana Salomone. Together with the production team led by Dario di Pace and Raffaele Arcella the result is the nostalgic and exotic Reggae-Pop in Neapolitan colors of "Il Volo" (today in exclusive preview on Spotify) and the sparkling disco infected “Suonno”.
