Italian Instabile Orchestra

Italian Instabile Orchestra : Skies of Europe

Recorded in May 1994 at Auditorium F.L.O.G., Florence.

Founded in 1990 by trumpeter Pino Minafra and the poet Vittorio Curci.

Uncategorizable, not so much because it goes in for promiscuous genre-blending, but because it is a genuine convocation of equals, and individual members and sub-groups are likely to go off in whatever direction takes their fancy...

Track list :

1.Il maestro muratore

2.Squilli di morte

3.Corbù

4.Merù lo snob

5.L'arte mistica del vasaio

6.Il maetro muratore (ripresa)

7.Du Du Duchamp

8.Quand Duchamp joue du marteau

9.Il suono giallo

10.Marlene e gli ospii misteriosi

11.Satie Satin

12.Masse d'urto (a Michelangelo Antonioni)

13.Fellini Song

Skies of Europe is an extended meditation on some of the great outsiders of European culture - Duchamp, Satie, Antonioni, Fellini, Deitrich and Kandinsky - and is also intended to echo the orchestral ambitions of Ornette Coleman's Skies of America.

Listen to the music; it will tell you why". Ornette Coleman

  3. dimitra says Jazz musicians of new generation in Italy, form a long catalog : Paolo Fresu, Stefano Bollani, Roberto Gatto, Gianluca Petrella, Stephano di Battista, Francesco Cafiso,... Remarkable are also the labels, such as "Philology":http://www.philologyjazz.it/, "Splasc":http://www.splaschrecords.com/, "C.A.M":http://www.camoriginalsoundtracks.com/site/index.php and others, which support local jazz. The french label "Label Bleu":http://www.label-bleu.com/flash.htm, sould be mentioned as the relation between France and Italy - regarding jazz - is specially developed. GirlCrawl,Reckon and Wassonii, thank you for your comments, glad to share my interesting about IIO!!
