Background

"Tempo Per" is a quartet album credited to the group name Sfogliare Albi, recorded over two days, 12-13 October 1991, with mixing on 24 October 1991, and released in 1992 on the label YVP Music (cat. yvp music 3029 CD). Personnel: Michael Gassmann (trumpet), Marco Dreifuss (piano), Peter Livers (bass), and Alexander Otth (drums) - a Swiss-led ensemble. The repertoire is original: most compositions are by Gassmann, with two tracks (4 and 12, per Discogs) by pianist Marco Dreifuss. A notable contextual detail is that the liner notes were written by Franco Ambrosetti, the prominent Swiss-Italian trumpeter/flugelhornist - a signal of endorsement within the Swiss-Italian jazz scene, though the text of those notes is not reproduced online. Some retail listings index the record under Gassmann's name, and the Japanese diskunion listing tags it "feat. Michael Gassmann," indicating he was treated as a lead/featured voice. Track titles seen include "Tana Del Tasso" and "Waltz for Me." Broader artist context (not specific to this album): Michael Gassmann (b. 28 July 1964, Regensdorf, Switzerland) is the Swiss jazz trumpeter - confirmed via Radio Swiss Jazz, Fonoteca Suisse jazz biography, and an arttv.ch portrait - who began trumpet at age eight and was mentored early by Enrico Rava; this is the correct person, not the classical musicologist of the same name.
