Martino’s classic sextet, Notturno, won him the Pulitzer
Prize in music.

continuity. Within these three movements, there are
nineteen smaller parts. The first and last movements have
nine parts that make up the contrasting sounds in the
music. The final movement concentrates more on the pitch
transformation. Structurally, this format would be a

Their songs talk about racism, politics, social problems, sex, drugs, lesbians, bums, alcohol, animal freedom... and many other strange subjects. In their music you will find punk, of course, but also rock, hardcore, ska, even reggae and jazz. If you ask me they are a just a punk-ska band. Their songs are interesting and different from one another. Each song has it's own characteristics. The lyrics are very interesting, sometimes strange, and sometimes incomprehensible. You basically just have to understand them in yo .....
