Giuliano Perin-Sweet Lines (Cat Sound Records 2012)

There is no musician without a suitcase piled up with music to which he is so lovingly devoted.

That music may have been important for his music education or which best enabled him to interpret music to the full, or simply bound to a specific moment in his life.

We wanted to choose and put together some of these "SWEET LINES" by colossal maestros like Cal Tjader, Lou Donaldson, Milt Jackson, George Shearing and Sanny Rollins who, besides thrilling us with their music, will always lead an essential role in the study and research of music, a research which concerns that "superb singleness" which distinguishes them, an objective for us to follow!

Special thanks to my marvellous friends and musicians of GOOD VIBES QUARTET,fellow mates of lots of travels and music with whom I have shared such a pleasant enterprise.
