❝ If Giacinto Figlia had stayed in Palermo (after being born there in 1924) instead of emigrating as an infant to America in 1925 with his family, being the son of an artist - his father was an opera singer - he probably would have embarked on an honest career as a pianist, even if he would not have certainly become George Wallington, a meteoric figure in the jazz firmament and historically counted among what is considered the first be bop group, formed in 1943 by a handful of musicians like Byas on tenor, Roach on drums, Pettiford on double bass, Gillespie on trumpet, and, indeed, Wallington on piano.
