BIO
Voodoo Sound Club was created in Bologna by Sax player multi-instrumentalist Guglielmo Pagnozzi in 2007. VSC's music, with its explosive mix of jazz, funk, Afrobeat and psychedelic styles - better, Voodoo Jazz - brings jazz back to all the black music expressions which made entire generations dance: funk, Afrobeat , bringing them all back to their original, mystical African matrix.
The band's music, comprised of haunting original tracks as well as surprising cover songs from artists like Manu Dibango, Fela Kuti and Jimi Hendrix, is entirely dedicated to energy and to the dance itself. At the same time, it perks up the ears of the most discriminating and experienced audiophiles.
Pagnozzi's torrential sax improvisations, together with their hypnotic repetitiveness of rhythmic progressions that draw from many traditional spiritual music traditions, explode in a more ritual and ancestral dimension which inescapably draws listeners into new physical, emotional, and intellectual heights. It is truly Voodoo for the 21st century.
VSC's proud is the collaboration with many artists, such as Roy Paci, Gianluca Petrella and African percussionists like Billy Konat', Sire Doubpuya, Famodou Konat'.

Dalle origini africane al Jazz e ritorno: un viaggio musicale guidato da Guglielmo Pagnozzi.
Musica da ascoltare e da ballare, miscela esplosiva di Funky, Afrofunk, Disco'70, Afrobeat e psichedelia, con un repertorio interamente dedicato all'energia e al ballo composto sia da brani originali che da "cover" di Manu Dibango, James Brown e Fela Kuti.
Il concerto di VSC riporta il Funk e il Jazz all'originale matrice africana: l'ipnotica ripetitivita' delle progressioni ritmiche e le torrenziali improvvisazioni del saxofono del leader, intrise di preziosa intensita' espressiva, esplodono in una dimensione piu' rituale ed ancestrale, che coinvolge intensamente il pubblico sul piano intellettuale, fisico ed emotivo.
