The Waterbabies

Everyone love Kresten Osgood and all for good reasons. The prolific Danish drummer Kresten Osgood is not only an excellent drummer and resourceful improviser but a truly kaleidoscopic man, one of these people who at the same time defy and totally own categories. He is also a rapper-vocalist-pianist-saxophonist-trumpeter, a funny entertainer, sought after cook, collector of hats and a driving force in the local jazz scene. Needless to say, Osgood is well-versed with the American jazz legacy and has the the fullest respect to it, but he likes to challenge this legacy in his own special way.

Italian pop singer and actor Renato Zero released his first LP, No! Mamma No!, in 1973, although he had released earlier material (collected on Via Tagliamento 1965-1970). He released five additional albums during the '70s (including the hits Trapezio, Zerofobia, and Erozero) and hit the '80s in stride with a double-album, Tregua. Zero was even busier in the '80s, with a total of eight albums released during the decade. Five of them hit number one in Italy, including Truce, Artide Antartide, Calore, and Leoni Si Nasce.
