Quintorigo & Roberto Gatto - Around Zappa

The renowed Italian jazz drummer Roberto Gatto is joined by the group Quintorigo to record this entertaining and fun album of Frank Zappa songs, giving everybody an opportunity to rediscover Zappa's unique universe.

The CD begins with instrumentals such as Uncle Meat and Peaches En Regalia. Moris Pradella joins the band to provide the vocals on Cosmik Debris, Don't Eat The Yellow Snow, Lucille Has Messed My Mind Up, King Kong, Big Swifty, Igor's Boogie and Village Of The Sun. The beautiful Uncle Remus is introduced by the violin of Andrea Costa, while Gionata Costa at the cello leads the melanchonic Black Napkins, making good use of effects to convey the charisma of an electric guitar enriched by the expressiveness of the cello. And an end with a bang, playing Echidna's Arf (Of You) and Zomby Woof.

With Roberto Gatto, Quintorigo prove once again themselves distinguished musicians, gaining without reserve the passionate audience's approval. 'Around Zappa' is not to be missed by Zappa's fans and recommended for everyone.

The album includes a DVD of the group performing eleven tracks at the Blue Note club in Milan.
