A surprising alliance of instruments which are usually confined to the hidden side of the music.
A superb creative plot, a magnificent conspiracy against the institution of anaemic and well-mannered jazz, plotted by those on the lower part of the pentagram around the very original compositions of Danilo Gallo, but also built upon striking re-readings of material sourced from the heterogenious universes of Eric Satie or Tom Waits.

Close around the bass, played by the leader, are the profound and inspired voices of the bass clarinet of Achille Succi, the trombone of Gerhard Gschloessl and the ever-moving percussion of Zeno de Rossi. The special contribution on the part of Daniele D' Agaro, Enrico Terragnoli and many others is not to be missed.
