Sexmob, die vor 17 Jahren gegründete Jazzformation um den New Yorker Musiker Steven Bernstein wurde durch ihre skurrilen, schelmisch interpretierten Coverversionen von Popsongs von Abbas "Fernando" bis zu "Macarena" bekannt. Ihre ambitionierte Mission: Die Abenteuerlust des vorkriegszeitlichen Jazz auferstehen zu lassen! Auf ihrem neuen Album "Cinema, Circus & Spaghetti" spielen sie in wunderbar eigenwilligen Arrangements Nino Rotas Musik der Fellini-Filme. Die Inspiration dazu fanden sie in einem Zitat Fellinis: "My films, like my life, are summed up in circus, spaghetti, sex, and cinema". (Pressetext)

Sexmob is a band out of time: a smartly old-fashioned quartet of world-class musicians with a satchel full of charts. Sex Mob is a band of the now: post-modern waltzes mutating into dub-echoed free jazz. Sex Mob is social music: a rollicking midnight set with clatter and drinks and a band. Sexmob is a happy contradiction: an experimental jazz outfit whose music has slid readily into the mainstream via Saturday Night Live, MTV, and National Public Radio.

Diving headlong into Rota's iconic Fellini film melodies, Sexmob fearlessly explodes all musical parameters, steering the arrangements through gutbucket swing and igniting them with New Orleans brass band fervor; dubbing them out into ether and blasting them with punk jazz abandon. Rota's classic themes are the perfect foil for Sexmob's improvisational psychedelia, old world beauty and hypnotic rhythms.
