Perigeo

Perigeo was a jazz-rock group formed in Rome in 1971 around the bassist Giovanni Tommaso. The band mixed jazz improvisation, fusion and progressive rock, recorded its albums for RCA in Italy and stayed active until 1977, later returning in the early 1980s under other names. Several of its members went on to long careers in Italian jazz. The classic line-up joined Tommaso with Franco D'Andrea on keyboards, Claudio Fasoli on saxophones, Bruno Biriaco on drums and Tony Sidney on guitar.
