The Profile

Italian progressive/jazz-rock band from Turin formed in 1974. Early line-ups featured Furio Chirico (drums), Beppe Crovella (keyboards), Gigi Venegoni (guitars), Marco Gallesi (bass), with violin by Giovanni Vigliar. They debuted with Tilt (Immagini per un orecchio) and followed with Giro di valzer per domani, releases associated with the Cramps label.

Acclaimed for virtuosic, metropolitan jazz-rock with Coltrane, Zappa and King Crimson echoes; praised by Bill Bruford and Brian Auger; politically aware context but music-first approach; standout drummer Furio Chirico noted in reviews for exceptional technique.

Two reviews spotlight Arti & Mestieri’s jazz-rock/prog blend: the conceptual power of Tilt and the refined, Coltrane-tinged Giro di valzer per domani. The band’s Turin roots, virtuoso drummer Furio Chirico, and elegant keyboards by Beppe Crovella are repeatedly praised. References span Miles Davis’s Bitches Brew to Zappa and King Crimson, with nods to political context. Closing accolades include quotes from Bill Bruford and Brian Auger.
