Conceived, recorded and produced by Giulio Cesare Ricci
No editing. All the tracks on this record are heard as they were performed.

This album is part of the recordings Giulio Cesare made during the concerts of the fonè Music Festival Piaggio 2023 edition, which he himself organized. The chosen location is the Piaggio Auditorium inside the famous Museum of Pontedera, the place where Piaggio was born and where it still produces today. The protagonists of FOUR STORIES are 4 great musicians with an extraordinary leader, Roberto Gatto, the greatest Italian jazz drummer, accompanied by Alessandro Presti on trumpet, Matteo Bortone on double bass, and Alessandro Lanzoni on piano. Roberto Gatto has played throughout Europe and the rest of the world with his groups and with international artists. The groups bearing his name are characterized, in addition to an interesting timbral research and impeccable performing technique, by a great warmth typical of Mediterranean culture. This certainly makes Roberto Gatto one of the most interesting drummers and composers in Europe and worldwide. Among the pieces played, many were composed by the artists themselves: The Music next door by R. Gatto, Il valzer della fonderia by A. Presti, Waver by A. Lanzoni, and Victoria Regia by M. Bortone. The album is completed by two very special pieces by Mary Lou Williams and Gary Peacock. For this recording, Giulio Cesare Ricci brought all his equipment, both analog (Ampex ATR 102 Electronic Tube Ampex Model 351-1965, 2 tracks, ½”, 30ips modified by David Manley) and digital (Pyramix Recorder, dCS A/D and D/A converters). Regarding microphones, he used his original collection of Neumann U47, U48, M49, as well as the Signoricci microphone preamplifier and cables. Pairs of Neumann tube microphones from 1947 and 1949 (U47, U48, and M49) with a very natural timbre were used, employing bi-microphone field effect techniques. These microphones have an important history: they are, in fact, the original microphones used to record, among others, the Beatles' performances at Abbey Road Studio and by RCA for "Living Stereo" recordings. The sound that Giulio Cesare Ricci manages to capture with these legendary microphones is perfectly in line with his sonic taste. No other microphone has such a true timbre and the ability to record all the nuances of sound and all the richness of harmonics. The uniqueness of these microphones is linked to their ability to perform a perfect "sonic photograph" and to perfectly place the music in the sound space chosen for the recording. This is because for each recording, Giulio Cesare Ricci creates two Masters: an analog master for vinyl and a DSD digital master for SuperAudioCD, as in this case. For this SACD, he used the DSD format, on Pyramix using dCS A/D and D/A DSD converters. From 1998 to today, he has recorded in DSD 64 x 44.1 bit with Signoricci ex Philips workstations equipped with Pyramix programs, dCS 904 analog-to-digital converters, and dCS 954 digital-to-analog converters, all to best realize the fonè SACD. The SACD mastering was done using the entirely analog and tube Signoricci system. A "state-of-the-art" system without sound manipulation, equalization, reverberation, compression, and expansion... but natural sound and true timbre to best enhance the acoustics of the Piaggio Museum Auditorium. All this to create recordings characterized by technological sophistication and aimed at recovering the original musical atmospheres. For this recording, Ricci also used the "field effect" recording technique... all this to allow the listener, in their home hi-fi system, to relive the live effect as if they had been present at the performance.

Great alternative to purchasing new cartridges
Color: 2 Black,1 Cyan,1 Magenta,1 Yellow, Color: 2 Black,1 Cyan,1 Magenta,1 Yellow
Cheaper than purchasing new cartridges every time the printer needs more ink. Easy to use. Bottles are a generous size. Ink quality is the same as I already had in my printer.

Reliable, Fast, and Excellent Print Quality — A Great All-Around Printer

I’m extremely happy with this printer and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality device. Setup was quick and straightforward, and it connected seamlessly to both my Wi-Fi and mobile devices. Print quality is excellent—text is crisp, colors are vibrant, and photos come out looking professional. It’s also impressively fast and much quieter than printers I’ve owned in the past. I appreciate the user-friendly interface and the efficient ink usage, which helps keep long-term costs down. Overall, this printer delivers great performance, convenience, and value, making it a fantastic addition to my home office.

I would rather deal with a dot matrix printer...
Style: WF-7820, Set: SINGLE TRAY (250 sheets/FAX/ADF/PRINT/COPY/SCAN
Let's start with the positive - scanner works fine. I am not a huge fan of having to use a separate program to initiate and scan but with that said, the scanner part of this "printer" is decent, fast, clear and has some functionality (two sided capabilities, rotation, etc.) that is appreciated. It would be nice if it would have OCR option so that you don't have to use a separate program to convert but that is just a convenience thing. Well wait, who doesn't like convenience when it seems like this could be a simple option?! Now for the negative part of this "printer". Issues: - 9 times out of 10 it will not print upon command and usually requires me to unplug, wait 30 seconds, plug and restart printing. Simply turning it off and on with the power button usually doesn't solve the problem hence the unplugging. And even unplugging sometimes doesn't do the trick. Don't worry, it will print the document randomly if you don't cancel the print job usually when you least expect it to and have a minor uptick in the heart rate. - Will not print in black and white (even if selecting the option to print only in B&W) once the color cartridges run out. Yes, it allows you maybe to do this a few times with a warning that it can only do that because the color is out however that is temporary and it will eventually not allow you to print in B&W until you replace the color. Completely ridiculous to me... - Speaking of color cartridges, these do not last long. I rarely print in color however I have had this printer for less than a year and have replaced once and now have to replace again. Also finding that these color cartridges are hard to find locally at like walmart or target and when in a pinch, that is bad. So as stated above, when you color goes out, need just a straight B&W print job and can't find the cartridges around town - you are S.O.L. If you are wanting a multi-use "printer" that just scans - this is a decent option. If you are wanting something more than a scanner that prints ink on paper, do not put this in your cart and move on.
