                      Description
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

«A band from Genova,  Gleemen were formed around 1965 by  Pier Niccolò 
"Bambi" Fossati, guitarist extraordinaire and Hendrix lover, and also 
included long time members  Cassinelli and  Traverso along with guitarist
Marco Zoccheddu (later with Nuova Idea). Their only album, issued
in 1970, is a good rock album, with strong 60's influences and some 
typical elements of later Garybaldi work: the wild, Hendrix-inspired
guitar playing of Bambi, the organ background and a solid rhythm 
section.  Some bluesy tracks are present, like the longest track on the
LP Chi sei tu uomo, and the album has a very good average level, though 
by no means a progressive work. The same line-up changed name to  
Garybaldi in 1971, the only difference being a slighly more progressive 
oriented sound, keeping the same style as previous band, and the wild 
Hendrix-inspired guitar playing of Bambi Fossati above all.»

«They had a very interesting debut with the single Marta Helmuth in 1971,
the back cover of it stating "from now on we're not Gleemen, we're 
Garybaldi" to declare their change of style. Nuda, a year later,
is a much more mature album than Gleemen, with the long beautiful 
suite Moretto da Brescia taking the whole of side two and the four 
tracks on side one also on a very good level. A very important album,
housed in one of the best covers of the era, designed by cartoonist
Guido Crepax. The band had an intense live playing,  supporting 
the likes of Uriah Heep, Van der Graaf and even Santana in their
Italian tours, and theirs was a constant presence at the most important
Italian pop festivals in the early 70's.»
