about

'On Italian Roads marks the only official release of Dean with the all-star quartet of Keith Tippet on piano, Harry Miller on bass, and Louis Moholo-Moholo on drums. As it stands, that alone would be cause for celebration, but the high quality of the performance sets this one even further apart.'
Lee Rice Epstein - Free Jazz Collective, October 2022

Recorded live on 25th February 1979, Teatro Cristallo, Milan, Italy.

Previously unreleased. Stereophonic sound.

First official release for what many fans consider to be the 'ultimate' lineup of Elton's Quartet. A sensational performance and recording.

Extensive liner notes by Riccardo Bergerone and Roberto Ottaviano.
Booklet includes dozens of previously unseen images of the quartet by Sergio Balletti and Carlo Verri.

I am a big fan of Nucleus and Ian Carr, and nice to find it on the day I caught up with and interviewed Brian Smith, the saxophonist on this and other Nucleus albums. Some of the finest Jazz of this era. JazzLocal32.com John Fenton
