Osvaldo Lo Iacono is a professional guitarist from Sicily, who was self-taught in his youth on the records of Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Albert Collins, etc., which his father passionately treasured.

Throughout his career, there have been both solo projects such as the Osvaldo Lo Iacono Trio and, of course, his work alongside numerous well-known names in music: Amii Stewart, Antonella Ruggiero, Mario Biondi, Orchestra Jazz Siciliana Brass Group, Billy Cobham, Fabrizio Bosso, Fabio Concato, Mauro Ermanno Giovanardi, Deborah Iurato, Mariella Nava, Fiordaliso and others.

Philip Gould British drummer, songwriter and singer from the Isle of Wight in southern England. He founded the band Level 42 with Mark King. Born in Hong Kong, he studied percussion at the Royal Academy of Music in London , where he met keyboardist Mike Lindup.

Gould's first major chart breakthrough came with the pop group "M," playing drums on their single "Pop Muzik," a number one on the U.S. top charts. He later appeared on the Top Of The Pops show along with "Roxy Music" for their performance of More Than This and also in the promotional video for this song.

Together with Mike Lindup, Mark King, and his brother, guitarist Boon, he formed the funky-jazz-rock-pop band Level 42 and together with them recorded several albums, one better than the other, coming to make Level 42 one of the best-loved bands in Europe and the US. In 7 years together, Phil composes many of the band's songs, often writing the lyrics as well. Their best-selling albums are True Colors, the beautiful live A Physical Presence, World Machine, which launched them to the top of the charts with the top hits Something About You, Leaving Me Now and I Sleep On my heart, then 1986's Running In The Family which contains Lessons In Love, Running In The Family and other hits.
At the end of 1987, the Gould brothers left Level 42, due to total dissatisfaction with their new band's pop sound.
Phil will return briefly with his old bandmates Mark and Mike for the album Forever Now, on which he plays a few phrasings and records a considerable amount of drum loops to be inserted into the tracks.
From that moment on, Phil Gould became a respected jam session musician and star session musician.
In 2007, Gould contributed to Italian singer Diana Winter's debut album as drummer and as co-writer and producer of the tracks Rain and Dream Alone.
In 2009, he released his first solo album Watertight that was released with contributions from Mike Lindup, Wally Badarou, and Berenice Scott under the Bongo Saloon label.
This was followed by the album Terraforming under the group name Gould, Brown and Black.
In 2021 he released his last solo album, Beautiful Wounds, dedicated to the memory of his brother Boon, who passed away a few years earlier.

Analogue and digital – Musical supports and Jazz

The transition from analogue to digital support in the early 1980s decreed a differentiated use by consumers of the multi-stylistic offer in the musical field. In truth, up until a good part of the 1990s, before the advent of liquid and streaming music, the three supports, vinyl, cassette tape and CD that successively established the way of perceiving and assimilating the musical product in the 1900s, continued to overlap in record production, conveying the choices, tastes and preferences of simple enthusiasts and audiophiles. The capillary diffusion of Italian jazz with an ever-increasing public response, starting mainly from the mid-seventies, triggered the birth of record labels specialized in this musical genre and consequently an increase in the number of records produced in the vinyl format, cassettes and later CDs. Each independent label offers its aficionados a catalog made up of records dedicated to specific jazz styles or genres: traditional jazz, free jazz, avant-garde, mainstream, jazz-rock…
