The return of Six Sax of Javier Girotto
is one of the first groups founded by Javier Girotto at the beginning of his italian career , Six Sax, four saxophones, bass and drums, which, back in 1995 welcomed the first disc under the leader’s name, for Via Veneto Jazz’s label.

In 1995 the sextet was formed with Javier Girotto sax baritone, Rosario Giuliani alto, Gianni Savelli tenor, Marco Siniscalco bass and Pietro Iodice drums. The CD was recorded with Randy Brecker’s incomperable trumpet and Bob Mintzer’s sax as special guests.Today we have the group with the leader, baritone and soprano, Paolo Recchia and Daniele Tittarelli alto, Gianni Savelli tenor and old friends Marco Siniscalco bass and the Pietro Iodice drums. Their repertoire, a goldmine rarely used nowadays, shines again with a new light, for their original approach to composition, all under the name of the inexhaustable Javier Girotto, due to the master tecnique and to the courageous choices of style.

Music, though it contains ample spaces for improvisation, draws from composite stuctures in order to enhance the individual musician’s soloist bravura, who are organized in collective sound, but also in trios, duets and solos, in an order to contain all of the soul of the composer, such as Cordoba, La Habana y La Toscana, Earth problems, John’s dreams, dedicated to Coltrane, Homenaje ad Astor, a tribute to Piazzolla, Sax Sex Six or The G4 formula, on the way towards an experiment which after Aires Tango, and other duets
