Music with a fiery, forceful character; eclectic and energizing, with hues of blues and tinges of reggae... "Mauro Ottolini is a multi-instrumentalist and his music - rising from the brass he blows into - is multi-stylist. The use of a variable trombone and its mutes, the flashing slide trumpet and the full-bodied, but agile saxophone inspires Ottolini to create pieces that express his complex personality, the result of a personal history of sound that includes classical, operatic, popular, jazz and Afro-American music" (Luigi Onori)
