MOTORHELLINGTON by ZU & EUGENE CHADBOURNE

After debuting in 1999 with the album Bromio, the ZU trio (Luca Mai, sax, Massimo Pupillo, basso e Jacopo Battaglia, batteria), born from the rubble of Gronge, have stepped up their musical activities with a seemingly unending series of concerts around the world (often in the company of bands such as The Ruins, Half Japanese, Nomeansno, The Ex, Otomo Yoshihide Quintet, The Vandermark 5) which as well as helping the group to mature and hone their playing to white-hot intensity have enabled ZU to gain a well-deserved international reputation.
