In the swinging summer of '71, Michael de Albuquerque and Frank Ricotti decided to crash the British jazz-rock party with unprecedented style. De Albuquerque brought blue-eyed soul vocals smoother than velvet, while Ricotti's vibraphone skills could make entire orchestras weep with envy. Their mission was creating sound that made jazz cats purr and rock enthusiasts howl with delight, assembling a dream team including John Taylor on keys, Chris Laurence on bass, and Trevor Tomkins on drums, with guest appearances by trumpeter Henry Lowther and guitarist Michael Keen. Though their collaboration was brief, Ricotti & Albuquerque left an indelible mark on British music before scattering like jazzy Johnny Appleseeds—de Albuquerque joining Electric Light Orchestra while Ricotti continued dazzling jazz circles. Think Like A Key Music gives this dynamic duo a second wind, reissuing First Wind with the band's blessing and unearthing their mythical 1971 BBC concert session that proves some musical magic deserves rediscovery.
