about

Funky Football
is the title of a never released album by Miles Davis.
An alternative way to what is known.

The band Funky Football
provides an alternative point of view
on one of the most important albums in the
music history of the 20th century,
in a sort of alternative future.
Compositions remain the fundamental,
germinal elements from which
a new and original sound path is developed,
reflecting the strong personalities
of the members of the sextet.

The Clusone recording was broadcast by RAI RadioTre on May 31, 2011, for the series I concerti del martedì.
The full show was hosted by Stefano Bollani, Pino Saulo, and Guido Zaccagnini.
Our Veniero Rizzardi was interviewed in that occasion.
The opening announcement is placed here at the end of the concert original recording, as a bonus track.

The Levico live show was engineered by Ivan Benvenuti and homemade recorded by Luca Gasperotti.
The recording surfaced during the Summer 2019 and added in this release as bonus material.

Special thanks to Livio Testa and Roberto Bottini (Clusone Jazz), Carlo Alberto Canevali (Levico’s Le Vie del Suono), Pino Saulo (RadioTre).
