Reissue, originally released in 1970. Giovanni Tommaso is the greatest Italian jazz bassist and founder and member of the most important ever Italian jazz rock ensembles, the Perigeo band. He composed Indefinitive Atmosphere at the end of 1969, released a few months after in 1970 on Sermi label, and recorded it at RCA studios in Rome. Indefinitive Atmosphere represents a special album for him and for us as well, since it was his first album released as a sole composer/artist. The maestro dug in personal archive for Sonor Music Editions and finally found a copy of the original master tape containing part of the recordings. Besides the misspelled title "Indefinitive" instead of "Indefinite", adding to the legend here, this album was incredibly ahead of his time. The young maestro Tommaso played electric bass and contrabass in a studio ensemble with a strings section. Plenty of stunning jazz-funk, jazz-rock and free jazz tracks. The session is also known for including the legendary American jazz soprano saxophonist Steve Lacy on the track called "Steve", where he plays a sax solo. Full session restored from the original tapes found, and digitally remastered the sound for a greater sound experience.

Original soundtrack composed by Perigeo bassist Giovanni Tommaso for the documentary Vivere a Tokio: Citta' del Paradiso. Tommaso was very active and prolific in writing library music during the '70s. This extraordinary score was composed to be the soundtrack for a documentary focused on Tokyo and its inhabitants; Tommaso added some typical elements of melodic/harmonic Japanese music and melded them with a kind of urban music along the lines of a jazz-rock style that he would later bring to Perigeo, along with outstanding Eastern-style prog rock tunes. Silvano Chimenti, Antonello Vannucchi, and Gegè Munari are the uncredited artists who played in this session. Originally released in 1972 on RCA Original Cast (SP 8039). This first-ever reissue features remastered sound and is pressed on high-quality 180-gram vinyl.
