This Italian band's sole legacy is a wonderful instrumental album of pure symphonic prog dominated by flute, with strong classical influences and a touch of jazz. For comparisons, bands like COLOSSEUM, KING CRIMSON, GENESIS, ELP and The NICE come to mind. Their eponymous album was recorded in 1971 for the Venice-based Suono label but never saw the light of day; a year later, the group had already disbanded. They were eventually honoured by the Rome Villa Pamphili festival who awarded them the prize for 'Best Italian Band' in 1974.

The album, which had been shelved for over twenty years, was finally unearthed by Melos in 1992; Italian label Akama also re-issued it in '99 with two extra tracks. The Melos release comprises three wonderful suites of excellent performance featuring great keyboards, flute and sax plus a few rare vocals, the music alternating between quiet, folksy parts and grand symphonic flights. In 1972, an album by Beppe Palomba entitled "A Rosa, a Giovanna e alle altre" was issued under the Mizar label, featuring some of the members from BUON VECCHIO CHARLIE. Its two best cuts are the ones included in the 1999 Akama re-issue of BVC.

Although the production isn't perfect, "Buon Vecchio Charlie" is one of the better, very early (pre-BANCO/PFM) Italian prog albums and is certainly recommended for all lovers of vintage Italian symphonic prog.

  • sapete qual è il problema? è che voi che commentate contro il Maestro, liberissimi di farlo ovviamente, dite che lui si crede il migliore. Non ricordo di aver visto un solo video di lui che dica "io sono meglio di Steve Vai" o "ho una cultura musicale piu grande ti tizio".

    URTIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIII

  • Mi fa specie che una figura come R.B. se fosse vissuta in Inghilterra sarebbe stata indicata come "meravigliosamente tragica e decadente" mentre per il solo fatto di essere in Italia è un cazzone, non è che è il nostro paese ad essere il paese della burletta.

    Tra l'altro: bel pezzo!
