"Maxophone - Italian Version" is a CD release by the legendary Italian progressive rock band Maxophone, produced by AMS. This edition features the original Italian-language version of their iconic 1975 self-titled album, widely regarded as one of the finest examples of classic Italian prog. The music blends symphonic arrangements with jazz and classical influences, showcasing intricate musicianship and poetic lyrics. Maxophone's unique sound has earned them cult status among prog enthusiasts worldwide, despite having released only one studio album in their initial run. Over the years, their work has been reissued multiple times due to ongoing demand from collectors and fans alike. AMS Records is renowned for its dedication to preserving Italy?s rich progressive rock heritage through high-quality reissues and archival releases.
Maxophone is an Italian progressive rock band formed in Milan in 1973. They released one self-titled album in 1975. The group was one of the few rock artists signed by the Produttori Associati record label, which focused mostly on film soundtracks and jazz. Maxophone have since acquired a minor cult following that has endured for over three decades, long after their short career had ended.
Among fans of the Italian progressive rock genre Maxophone is today widely regarded as one of the top groups, along with PFM, Le Orme, and Banco del Mutuo Soccorso. The group and their record label thought they had tremendous potential for success. They were one of only a handful of such groups to have the opportunity to record an English language version of their album.
The music of Maxophone has features typical of the best symphonic rock, including a very high level of musical skill, shifting time signatures, and highly complex arrangements inspired by both Classical and Jazz. Half the members were classically trained, the rest had years of experience in other rock bands. Their music has a wide variety of textures, often in the same song. Horns and flute are equally balanced with piano, organs, synthesizers, and electric and acoustic guitars. They also include choral arrangements and instruments rarely heard in rock, such as clarinet, vibraphone and even harp.

This is the true diamond of the so called "Rock Progressivo Italiano" genre! The music has a lavish symphonic structure and very melodically. The Italian voice is a nectar for any connoisseur of progressive rock.
