Altomaria - Disco Infermo (FITZCARRALDO RECORDS 2018)


Altomaria is an historical sicilian-based band active since 2000 a.d. who reunites some of the best Jazz players from the three corners of Sicily island. Featuring the obliquous bassist Luca Lo Bianco and sax veteran Gianni Gebbia, from Palermo, master of rhytms Francesco Cusa from Catania and the trombone wizard Tony Cattano from Syracuse area. 

Serious fun. Steve colemanish plus minguslike and funkadelics grooves in a solid musical 'Cosa Nostra' band.
