Slick Steve & The Gangsters
On Parade
Slick Steve and the Gangsters second album "On Parade", reveals the bands intention to keep evolving by taking inspiration from the music of the past and combining it with new sounds and concepts. Genuine, pure and sincere, the sounds in the album transport us to places evoked in the songs. The descriptive lyrics are imaginative and reveal Slick Steves passion for strange and fantastic stories, the art of magic and the circus. The music is a mixture of different styles, but mostly draws on Swing, Rhythm'n Blues and Rock'n Roll. Each song is a world of its own and has its own particular style. What at first may seem as the multiple personality of this group belies great cohesion and harmony. This is the unique well-defined style of Slick Steve and the Gangsters. The album has been released under record labels "Go Down Records and Latlantide". Its been produced and recorded by Alessandro "Asso" Stefana at Perpetuum Mobile, between January and March 2015, in the Italian town of Nave. The project also features important guests: David Hogan (saxophone, trumpet and clarinet), Vincenzo Vasi (well known musician and expert "Theremin" player), Valeria Sturba (violins) and, last but not least, the well renowned Enrico Gabrielli (founder of the famous Italian band "Calibro 35") as the arranger for the violin parts.
