A Turin trio whose name derives from the initials of the three original members, Gialma 3 played jazz with brazilian influences. In the second album the line-up changed, with the entrance of the former Corte dei Miracoli keyboardist Riccardo Zegna, though the musical style remains the same as their first album, with instrumental-only compositions and large use of piano and upright bass. While their first two albums are similar, the third one saw the entrance of a new drummer and the singer Piero Cotto from Piero e i Cottonfields, with a musical style closer to this artist's own releases.
Around 1990 the original line-up reunited with the name Gialma for an album with the same title as their second LP. Original guitarist Camarca released in the 70's a bossa-styled album entitled Samba do amigo (American Records AMRLP 001) under the name Giulio Camarca & Trinidad.
