The most complete and vast [url=http://www.paolofresu.it/it/discography/]back catalogues[/url] of releases (dating back to 1983) where he was engaged as leader, co-leader and/or featured artist are attached as pdf-files to his official homepage.

His style is based on the [a=Miles Davis] hardbop sound of the 50's, but not being a mere imitation he draws inspiration from Mediterranean musical heritage and classical music.
