About the CD "AMETYS

"Diego Imbert surrounded himself well: Louis Winsberg, Eric Seva, Felix Sabal-Lecco... and proposes a wide variety of jazz-rock- fusion music. We can greet the high quality of all the compositions and the interpretation, and also the creation of a great diversity of atmospheres, increased by many participants in the different pieces..." (Paolo COCCINA - Guitarist - April 1994)
