An American guy in Florence. Definitively easy if a tourist, barely beliaveable if the american guy is 100% made in Florence. But that's the way Max Panconi usually appears like taking his first chords: Florence borne down-to-the-bone, incredibly american-styled lookalike.
The project that he leads, The Max Panconi Orchestra, has all the good gear to finally get awarded as a rare sample the way it would be possible, even in Italy, to recreate that old magic "mix fifties" that belonged to the holy monsters Elvis Presley,
Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent (and the later Bryan Setzer Orchestra), that the whole actual pop-rock music takes inspiration from.
The Max Panconi Orchestra definitively belongs to the rock'n'roll origins.
The Max Panconi Orchestra
The attempt to recover the original sound pattern of a musical concept that has got substantial modifications through the years, but that's still the logical basis of all the stuff you can hear on broadcasting right now.
"Ciao Bella" is the first single edited from "The Max Panconi Orchestra" project.
The band formed around guitarist Max Panconi, who is also lead singer, as well as autor of almost all band repertory.
"Ciao Bella" was all released in Florence, keeping the very "old style" sound masterboarding: every instrument was truly played; no samples or studios alchemy whatsoever, but deep close attention to recreate the atmosphere that kind of music belonged to.
Max Panconi
The Max Panconi Orchestra is the natural evolution of the previous Max's band, Gattimatti, which had a long road on success performing rockabilly during last years,
in the standard team guitar, double bass and drums.
The Max Panconi Orchestra is a real big live band featured an highly spectacular show, performing both classic hits than originals, all strictly Swing arranged but affected anycase by energy and koolness that just rockabilly music could features.
The mixing output is a superb and powerfull sound that comes out from some traditional range, figures The Max Panconi Orchestra a real breakthrough and mostly, a not-ordinary project.
Currently The Max Panconi Orchestra is involved in the commercial promotion of the hit single "Ciao Bella", as well as recording old classic and original for a forthcoming album.
