Il bestiario

Maria Monti - an Italian singer and actress with a remarkable career. In the 60s, she performed as a cabaret singer, dabbled in avant-folk in the 70s, and appeared in films such as A Fistful of Dynamite by Sergio Leone and 1900 by Bernardo Bertolucci. In addition to the texts of the infamous poet Aldo Braibanti, Il Bestiario includes arrangements by the avant-garde composer Alvin Curran, as well as the soprano-saxophone of Steve Lacy. The music of Il Bestiario is a shining example of the "new art-song" of the 1970s, as described by Alvin Curran. Maria Monti's work is also classified within the movement of Italian chanson performers known as "canzone d'autore." In 2018, the album was reissued by the Unseen Worlds label.
