Private pressing original of 1970, printed in a very limited quantity, the line up is constituted from:
Franco Of andrea, Eraldo Volontè, Bruno Biriaco and Sergio Fanni, that cleverly mix hard bop - free and modal jazz.
All the passages of this album are of high quality:
departing from the version funky jazz of the passage Summit Soul of Jean Luc Ponty, to pass Ervo of Eraldo Volontè to the passage that it interprets this autobiographic passage with great aggressiveness hard bop.
Spanish Portrait is a suite devoted to the Spanish jazz that fascinated a lot the Italian jazz musicians in that period (Pedro Iturralde), superb interpretation of the passage Vision (M.C. Coy Tyner) with great music of the whole quintet.
