Maria Monti's career in film and music covers multiple areas but hers is the kind of career that has resulted in only sporadic attention in the Anglophonic world, most famously (on a relative scale) for appearing in A Fistful of Dynamite. It makes her 1974 album, Il Bestiario, all the more remarkable, the type of mysterious, moody, and thoroughly compelling album that in its easy ignoring of genre templates seems more like something self-conscious from the 21st century than the apparently self-contained, vibrant collection it is, not least due to the quality of some of her collaborators, including Alvin Curran, who both performs and handles all the arrangements, and Steve Lacy.
