EL GALLO ROJO

Mickey Finn - Dudek ! - 5"07'

Enrico Terragnoli : guitar, fx
Giorgio Pacorig : fender rhodes, fx
Danilo Gallo : acoustic bass
Zeno de Rossi : drums


Music in its purest state. Improvisation intended as a method of instant collective composition. Sonorous symbols which are as bare and essential as Zen aphorisms are dropped onto hypnotic and feverish pulsations. Gashes of a new psychedelia, with a visual valence that is cinematographic. Dilutions of sound meet with a killer instinct for proportions and colours. Displacements in real time, guided only by sparse but very distinct micro-thematic reference points. Enrico Terragnoli's guitar is a box of sounds with unlimited secret compartments. Giorgio Pacorig's Rhodes distances itself from the limits of its own tradition. Danilo Gallo's bass meanders darkly around the gut and Zeno De Rossi's drumming here is absolutely unbeatable.

Sultry - The Daniel Quinn Theme - 3"47'

Zeno de Rossi : drums
Chris Speed : tenor sax
Stefano Senni : bass
featuring :
Anthony Coleman : hammond A-100 organ
enrico Terragnoli : guitar


Instantaneous references to creative intuitions above a solid floor of composition. An exchange of suggestions between Europe and New York, branded by an authentic creative necessity and the need to redistribute the weights of the various languages within, and collateral to, jazz. A 'perfect' trio, which turns around the urban colours of Chris Speed's reeds, Stefano Senni's bass and Zeno De Rossi's percussion, it moves with total lucidity between original compositions and re-readings of hidden treasures by Dave Brubeck and Duke Pearson. Embellishing the textures are Anthony Coleman's keyboards (Marc Ribot y Los Cubanos Postizos, John Zorn) and the guitars of Enrico Terragnoli.
