porcy62 Posted July 29, 2014 Report Posted July 29, 2014 Giorgio Gaslini passed away at the Borgotaro hospital. He was 84 years old. He was one the greatest italian musicians and composers. Sorry I found only italian links, I am sure later on the news will be english speaking websites. http://www.repubblica.it/spettacoli/musica/2014/07/29/news/la_scomparsa_di_giorgio_gaslini-92644559/?ref=HREC1-7 Gaslini website: http://www.giorgiogaslini.it/en/ Quote
king ubu Posted July 29, 2014 Report Posted July 29, 2014 Sad news - but what a rich musical life! Grazie per tutto, Giorgio! Quote
king ubu Posted July 29, 2014 Report Posted July 29, 2014 "Blues all'alba" from Antonioni's "La notte" - first time I heard anything by/about Gaslini ... his fabulous Monk album was the first CD I bought, not that much later. Quote

Steve Reynolds Posted July 29, 2014 Report Posted July 29, 2014 Skies of Europe forever He joins the great alto saxophonist of the orchestra Mario Schiano as late members of what I consider, at their zenith, one of 2 or 3 greatest large ensembles of the past 40 years. RIP Mr. Gaslini Quote

Joe Posted August 6, 2014 Report Posted August 6, 2014 Will have to get that - some of those I don't have. The duets with Roswell Rudd are wonderful. Quote
Teasing the Korean Posted August 7, 2022 Report Posted August 7, 2022 I first became aware of Gaslini through his score for Antonioni's La Notte. I am now listening to his score for Un Amore, half of which is played by a jazz quartet with Gaslini on piano. Incredible stuff. Quote
John L Posted August 7, 2022 Report Posted August 7, 2022 Very sad news. Gaslini was a living musical giant. RIP Quote
