Ella Fitzgerald - Live In Cologne 1974Live In Cologne, 1974

George Wright

The quintet takes it's name from the mandolin virtuoso Giuseppe Anedda (1912-97) who popularised the instrument throughout his native Italy with his own ensemble and established for it a place in classical concert halls and modern works beyond the 'early music revival' of the 50s and 60s

but never reckless in it's tender heart

In the shadow of the pandemic

Gears has only grown in it's cult status

And the German quintet continue this backwards-looking path with the new moniker RITVS as a "new" old approach: exquisitely rustic late '70s sounds spanning hard rock

Among the 24 tracks is the hit Take a City Bride

Once upon a time

Sweden and more

and two power-blocs are poised on the brink of war

Each piece on this album

Horse Latitudes is a must for the group's fans
