Originally released in 1981, I Solisti is one of Dino Siani’s most varied and character-driven albums, conceived as a gallery of musical personalities where each track highlights one (or more) soloist, as well as a distinct mood, attitude or emotional color. Rooted in big band jazz but open to funk, disco, soft rock, bossa nova and easy listening, the album perfectly reflects the transitional sound of the late 1970s and early 1980s, when cinematic scoring, television themes and sophisticated pop converged.
