Description:

From CAM SUGAR's collection of hundreds of soundtracks comes a compilation album of 33 tracks representing the golden age of Italian jazz soundtracks, emblematic of the explosion of jazz in the Italian film industry in the late 1950s and 1960s. It is also the quintessential soundtrack of the economic, social, and cultural boom Italy enjoyed at the time. It features works by Ennio Morricone, Armando Trovayoli, Piero Piccioni, Luis Bacalov, Luis Bonfa, Bruno Nicolai, and many other composers, including Gianni Basso, Oscar Valdambrini, Nunzio Rotondo, Enrico Rava, Franco D'Andrea, Gege Munari, Chet Baker and Gato Barbieri. And the newly drawn artwork by Luca Barcellona is also attractive! Many previously unreleased tracks are also included! Following Miles Davis' pioneering authentic jazz soundtrack for Louis Malle's Ascenseur pour l'echafaud (Elevator to the Gallows), Italian cinema discovered the modernity of jazz and its language and, in the late 1950s and 1960s Jazz dominated Italian cinema from the late 1950s through the 1960s. Reinterpreting California bebop rhythms in typical Mediterranean keys, jazz became the perfect soundtrack to the economic boom that was taking place in Italy.Directors and composers soon realized that jazz, with its nervous, frenetic rhythms, could appropriately express the richness of the "sweet life." In no time at all, jazz became the canvas for everything from mondo films (Le dolci notti) to ethnographic documentaries (Alla scoperta dell'Africa), from episodic films (3 notti d'amore ) to film noirs (Chiamate 22-22 - Tenente Sheridan) to film noirs (Chiamate 22-22 - Tenente Sheridan), it became the canvas for all kinds of films. From Antonioni-style dramas (Un tentativo sentimentale) to comedies (Le ore dell'amore), from spy stories (Sinfonia per due spie) to horror (Il mostro di Venezia), even Toto and Ticcio & Franco style It also influenced farce (Letti sbagliati, Gli imbroglioni, Amori facili). Italian composers were quick to update the carne of musical expression, assimilating jazz tastes that captured the zeitgeist into their own styles. If Armando Trovajoli, Piero Piccioni, and Piero Umiliani can be considered pioneers of this genre in Italian cinema, masters such as Ennio Morricone (La voglia matta) and Liz Ortolani (Il sorpasso), despite their different backgrounds, but embraced a genre that perfectly captures the restlessness and alienation of the times (a major theme of Italian cinema in the 1960s).This work is a vivid portrait of Italian society at the time, with a pop sound as catchy and immediate as the contemporary music that rocked that exciting and controversial decade.
