todo chueco__first cd for danilo as leader

El Gallo Rojo Records 314-5
GALLO & THE ROOSTERS_Todo Chueco
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. _giorgio signoretti

______e per dirla in italiano______Una sorprendente alleanza di strumenti solitamente relegati alla faccia nascosta della musica. Un superbo complotto creativo, una magnifica cospirazione contro il palazzo del jazz anemico ed educato ideata dalla parte bassa del rigo intorno alle originalissime composizioni di Danilo Gallo ma anche su fulminanti rivisitazioni di materiali provenienti dagli universi eterologhi di Eric Satie o di Tom Waits. Strette attorno al contrabbasso del leader vi sono le voci profonde ed ispirate del clarinetto basso di Achille Succi e del trombone di Gerhard Gschloessl e le percussioni mobilissime di Zeno de Rossi. Da non perdere i contributi speciali di Daniele "Alpino" D’Agaro, Enrico "The King" Terragnoli, Giorgio "Schreck" Pacorig detto Pirel, Nicola "Fatzinger" Fazzini, Piero "Ropie" Bittolo Bon, Umbertone Trombetta Gandhi. _giorgio signoretti
