Here's Charly again with his power drums. and the second of the four cds by this group.
Dick Morrissey is here once more with the 18 year old trumpeter Gerard Presencer, not long out of the ranks of NYJO, added, plus Brian Lemon and Len Skeat.
You know you are going to get some powerhouse drum solos but the worth of the cd lies in the other soloists- particularly Dick Morrissey. He never disappoints.

Recorded April 14 1989
Contributed by delmonico, who writes:-
Charly Antoliní is a Swiss drummer based in Europe who is not too well known in the UK although he has had a long and productive career in music. As a drummer, he's a bit like Buddy Rich on speed and his motto must surely be 'Faster, Louder and Longer'.  Look him up on YouTube. His machine gun technique is amazing and he is much admired by other drummers. Others might baulk a little.
That's perhaps a bit unfair in this context because he can play sympathetically behind the front line and his time is faultless. His solos on this cd are limited however and other members of the group have plenty of solo space. But when Charly does solo then watch out and duck for cover.
He had a group called 'Jazz Power' where the personnel changed over the years, mainly musicians from mainland Europe with an occasional guest, but he made 4 cds with an all British group where the common denominator was tenor player Dick Morrissey. Pianist Brian Lemon and bassist Len Skeat provide the support. This is the first of those cds and the others will follow over the coming months.
The leader is Antoliní of course, but Dick Morrissey is the main voice on this 1989 recording. Dick seemed to leave the jazz scene in the late 1970s but had success in various jazz-rock groups ('Soft Machine', 'If') and a long partnership with guitarist Jim Mullen. His strictly jazz recording dates were limited in the 1980s so this is a welcome return date from a very fine musician.
