Biography

Guano Padano’s music is a kind of road movie, unfolding between the scorching asphalt of Highway number 4 and the juicy smells of the peasant festivals so common in the Pianura Padana. It’s a dreaming mixture of rock, psychedelia, folk and country, jazz improvisations and Morricone hints. Alessandro “Asso” Stefana and Zeno de Rossi started to work together some years ago while playing in Vinicio Capossela’s band, of which they are still steady members. For this trip they are joined by Danilo Gallo, a double bass player with a dark, meaty, gutsy style, who has shared with Zeno various adventures merged in El Gallo Rojo collective, one of the most interesting experiences of Italian underground and independent jazz. For their forthcoming record “Guano Padano” they put together many distinguished guests, like Alessandro Alessandroni (the renowned whistler of the immortal Ennio Morricone’s soundtracks), Gary Lucas (guitarist with Captain Beefheart and Jeff Buckley), Chris Speed (clarinet player with Tim Berne, Uri Caine, John Zorn etc.) and, last but not least, the legendary Bobby Solo.

GUANO PADANO is:
ALESSANDRO “ASSO” STEFANA steel guitar, banjo, raagini, clap hands, acoustic guitar, soprano guitar, pedal steel guitar, electric guitar, omnichord, stylophone.
DANILO GALLO bass, vibes, clap hands, upright piano, caravelle delux organ, vox super continental organ.

    All of a sudden, out of nowhere, arrived one of the most interesting and fantastic albums of the year - Guano Padano. The band is in its core Alessandro Steffana, who also worked with Marc Ribot in the past, and also with Mike Patton. The band also features Gary Lucas (guitarist of Jeff Buckley), Chris Speed, the Italian singer Bobby Solo but above all – Alessandro Alessandroni, which you may have never heard of, but you will recognize his whistles from miles, as he was the whistler in Ennio Morricone spaghetti soundtracks.
