Progression - GAZZARA (album teaser)

Buy/stream full album here: https://francescogazzara.bandcamp.com - https://francescogazzara.com/gazzara/... GAZZARA's latest album "Progression" (release date: 7th June 2022) is a spiritual journey into the realm of progressive rock (inspired by Genesis, Yes, King Crimson Gentle Giant, ELP, Anthony Phillips, Mike Oldfield….) with many other influences ranging from classical and folk to soundtrack music. The album has been inspired by Britain’s oldest road map (Gough Map, c.1360), an almost forgotten pilgrimage similar to the Camino de Santiago de Compostela in Spain. “Progression” indicates the process of developing or moving gradually towards a more advanced state: after a choral introduction (“Misericordiae”) the following eleven tracks are named after some of the locations of the ancient route (“Old Way”) that runs between Southampton and Canterbury in the South of England. Written and recorded during the pandemic years (2020-2021), GAZZARA’s new album features seven passionate musicians playing a total of 22 different instruments. “Progression” is released on IRMA Records as a limited edition CD. Written and arranged by Francesco Gazzara. Recorded and mixed @ The Small Farm, mastered @ Studio 2084. Produced by Francesco Gazzara. Published by Music Market SIAE.
