I Marc 4 ‎– I Marc 4 1970 (Nelson)

Label : Nelson

Value :

The first volume from the Nelson Records series by the infamous Italian Jazz quartet composed of Maurizio Majorana on the bass (M), Antonello Vannucchi at the organ (A), Roberto Podio at the drums (R), and Carlo Pes (C) on guitar. Seminal, deeply Underground session by the legendary Italian Library studio combo with tones of sleazy sounds starting from the Psychedelic guitar riffs, the crazy tough Funk and the groovy sharped beats to the lovely Jazz arranged theme music influenced by Samba, Bossa Nova and Easy Listening vibes of the time. I Marc 4 provided some of the best cinematic and theme music of the time, and this is one of their deepest productions. Top Italian Library LP production and unmissable piece for collectors of the genre!

i Marc 4 - 1 1971 (Sevenmen)

Label : Sevenmen

Value :

An incredible album from this hip studio combo – and one that's every bit a Hammond jazz album as it is a sound library rarity! The set's got more organ than usual from I Marc 4 – mixed with some tracks that have a great piano vibe too – all at a level that's very soulful, and which feels a lot more like a small combo working the US underground scene of the late 60s – instead of a bunch of cats working overseas in an Italian studio!

Polish Jazz Quartet ‎– Polish Jazz Vol. 3 1965 (Muza)

Label : Muza

Value :

It's hard for us to realize today how fresh was how exuberantly jazz flowered in the sixties. In the United States Miles Davis was about to gather his magnificent last quintet, and Coltrane - his last wonderful quartet, their music doomed by the encroaching changes, while our jazzmen barely discovered their possibilities...This Lp, originally recorded in December 1964, reflecting upon unlimited creative potential of Polish jazz legend Jan Ptaszyn Wroblewski who is joined on this record by Polish jazz piano prodigy Karolak and the best rhythm section in Poland those days: Sandecki / Dabrowski.

Piero Umiliani - Il Corpo 1974 (Sound Work Shop)

Label : Sound Work Shop

Value :

Sweetly funky and very slinky – this is one of the best early 70s scores by the great Italian composer Piero Umiliani! The record has lots of bubbling electric piano, rumbling electric basslines, warm acoustic percussion, and moody wordless vocals. At some level, the album sounds a lot like the contemporaneous work by the great Italian Fender Rhodes combo Crossfire – but it's also filled with a spacey madness that could only come from the pen of Umiliani!
