Marcello Capra was the guitarist from the early-mid 1970s prog band Procession. "Aria Mediterranea" (1994 reissue was under title 'Imaginations' with bonus tracks and a different cover) was his debut as a soloist in 1978 on the now collectible Mu label, with collaborations from some members of Arti & Mestieri and Procession. "Aria mediterranea" is a lighter-than-air instrumental masterpiece, fusing European folklore, jazz and improvisation, progressive, minimalist and baroque nuances. The center of the music is a sparkling and very rich acoustic guitar style encompassing interwaved arpeggios, three-string strumming and skipping solo lines; breezy, elegant and free, it creates a sense of suspension which is unpredictably close to the unique feeling of Van Morrison's "Astral Weeks". John Fahey might be another ponderous but fitting comparison. Vibes, flute, bass, percussion and very rare electric guitar interventions are the other few elements completing the palette for this unparalleled revisitation of the folk heritage.
