After the great success of "Sugoi Sentai! GATTAI!!", the first album of Jump The Shark, I'm planning to record a new cd with an extended line-up, including the best trombone player in the world, herr Gerhard Gschlössl from Berlin. Yes, this is where that extra "Ü" in the name of the band comes from!
The complete line-up will be myself on alto sax and other reeds, Gerhard on trombone and sousaphone, Pasquale Mirra on vibes, Domenico Caliri on guitars, Danilo Gallo on basses and Federico Scettri on drums.
You can hear some tune and read some information about this band here:

I need your help to get fundings for recording studio, mixing, mastering, not to mention food and accomodation for six highly demanding musicians!
The recording session will be set at Cat Sound Studio, a very nice studio in Badia Polesine, near Rovigo, which is not so far from Venice, Italy.
Hopefully this cd will be also released by El Gallo Rojo Records, a collective and recording label formed by some of the best forward-looking italian musicians.
I also contacted one of my favourite comic artist, the great Dottor Pira from fumettidellagleba.org to do the artwork and possibly a short story to be included in the album packaging, and he gladly agreed to do that! This would be a great way to invest some eventual additional funds, not mentioning the fact that will be fun as hell!
SO, thanks for your attention and support to this project, I'm sure you will be proud helping new and exciting music to be released!

"1. RocketHub is not an investment or charity. It is an exchange: funds from fans for rewards from me.
2. It's an All & More funding mechanism: if I don't reach my financial goal I get to keep what I raise. But if I do reach my goal, I get access to exciting opportunities."
