                       Description
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
«Made up of Italian and American musicians alike, this little-known 
quintet from Milan managed to blend together pulsating African rhythms 
and jazz-rock with interesting results. They recorded one album in 1976 
as well as a single, "Make Up", that was used as the theme for a late 70'
s Italian TV show ("3 Pezzi Facili"). Among other musicians, the band 
featured sax player Renato Rivolta of Stormy Six and Come le Foglie as 
well as guitarist/bassist Attilio Zanchi who has remained in the 
professional jazz circuit and is still considered one of the best Italian
upright bass players.»

«Their self-titled album is a highly experimental affair with an uncommon 
sound that highlights the piano, bouzouki and vibraphone (some vibraphone
passages are very reminiscent of ZAPPA). Tackling a variety of styles 
that run the gamut from salsa, brass-led jazz and funk to prog rock and 
outright avant-garde,it treats the listener to a dense wall of percussion
such as congas, marimbas and drums. Not your usual prog staple but quite 
unique. If you like the world-music approach of Aktuala, one of their 
distant cousins in terms of style, there's a fair chance you will enjoy 
the music of Maad too.»
