Animali Notturni (I, A) - Kufstein

Animali Notturni is the new Austro-Italian project by double bassist Marco Stagni. It conjures up the spirits of the night, nestles in the darkest recesses of human nature and oscillates between instinct and reason, excess and minimalism. But what kind of music do they make? In the words of a South Tyrolean living in Leipzig, one could say that it is slow jazz rock with tante emozioni. Or that the musicians are reminiscent of a gang of different animals sneaking through a dark alley in a sleepy Italian town at four in the morning, over smooth stones, towards the fish market to get their hands on some fresh sardines. Press: "Mysterious like the unknown world of nocturnal creatures. I'm not just talking about certain animals that live in the forest, but also about nocturnal humans. This is probably what it would have sounded like if you had been sitting in some dingy New York jazz club many years ago. While enjoying a glass of the finest hooch in a completely foggy room and tapping your fingers tactfully on the table, you hear muffled noises from a back room, where some mobster is probably beating someone's face to a pulp. What an atmosphere this music creates... Or is it just me?"
