Originally released in 1971 on Pegasus, First Wind brings together the influential talents of vibraphonist Frank Ricotti and multi-instrumentalist Michael d'Albuquerque for a unique journey through British jazz. Praised by sources like Cream magazine, this album showcases a remarkable blend of gentle melodies and expressive improvisation, highlighted by standout tracks like the poignant "Give a Damn."
What sets First Wind apart is its inventive approach to jazz, featuring expressive trumpet solos and thought-provoking songwriting that remain strikingly relevant today. With expanded notes and rare recordings included in reissues, this album is a testament to the creative partnership of Ricotti & Albuquerque—making it a must-hear landmark from jazz's early '70s era.
