French tenorist and racing enthusiast Barney Wilen arrived at the 1967 Monaco Grand Prix with his Nagra sound recording system in hand, planning nothing more than to tape the race for private use. But when famed Italian Formula One racer Lorenzo Bandini lost control of his car and crashed, suffering horrific burns that claimed his life three days later, Wilen set to work on integrating the tape into a new composition celebrating the driver's life and career. The resulting Auto Jazz: Tragic Destiny of Lorenzo Bandini remains one of the most adventurous and potent recordings in Wilen's catalog, its careening, visceral music brilliantly paralleling the exhilaration of its subject matter. Bandini's Ferrari speeds in and out of the musical narrative, jockeying for position amid Wilen's soaring tenor and Eddy Gaumont's crashing drums while uniting driver and musicians in their reckless abandon and addiction to adrenaline.

Giampaolo Bandini is considered to be one of the best Italian guitarists on the international music circuit. In 2003, he was nominated as the best Italian guitarist of the year by Guitar magazine readers. He graduated with distinction at the age of 19 and owes his musical education to Maestro Giovanni Puddu.

Non possono immaginare che siano i ricordi che evoca l'arma a ridurlo in quello stato. Riaffiora tutto alla mente. Una locanda in mezzo alla polvere, nel caldo e nella desolazione. Un criminale privo di scrupoli che fa il suo ingresso, pronto a vendere una bambina al migliore offerente. A quella visione si può solo reagire, sparare e uccidere. Inizia la fuga, fra mille pericoli e i ricordi di un amore perduto che lo hanno condotto sin lì…
