SPAJAZZY

Spajazzy is a new fusion group composed of the bass and drum team of Tino D'Agostino and Sergio Bellotti , two Italians who have come to America by
way of Berklee. The duo have a very strong groove and are at home on funk and fusion grooves of all kinds. They are joined here by Mike Stern (guitar) ,
Jim Kelly (guitar instructor at Berklee), and the fine Bill Vint on sax. Stern turns in a classic performance on "Mr. Stern", and the group as a whole is
strong throughout the disc. The classic Italian tune "Estate" is played with great sensitivity and is a highlight as is the trio version
of "Someday My Prince Will Come" where D'Agostino amply demonstrates his ability to navigate the changes.
