Piero Umiliani-La Legge Dei Gangsters-Crime Jazz CD

Piero Umiliani 

La  Legge  Dei Gangsters 

Original Soundtrack

new cd

Very tight batch of crime jazz tracks composed by the great Piero Umiliani for this lost Klaus Kinski thriller. The material is played by some of Italy's best jazz players, and the tracks have nice sax solos, brassy riffs, organ lines, and even some cool flute and vibes. The reissue's got 17 tracks in all, with a motherlode of stuff that wasn't on the original soundtrack LP, and which all sounds great. If you dig jazz thriller soundtracks, this is one of the best we've heard, and the whole thing's put together with the usual high quality you'd expect from Easy Tempo.

We continue our renaissance of the great Piero Umiliani's body of work with this 2-CD edition of the score of La legge dei gangsters (GANGSTER'S LAW), a movie directed by Siro Marcellini in 1969 starring Klaus Kinsky, Maurice Poli and Franco Citti . The backdrop for the Maestro's score is the streets of Genoa, a robbery, treachery and gunfights: fertile ground in which the Florentine composer put the roots of his talent with a dynamic and harmonic score, sophisticated and original, romantic and jazzy. A real tribute to the class of this popular Maestro who has given so much to Italian art is now available again in this expanded release after so many years of absence from the market.
The CD comes in a jewel case with a 12-page booklet, graphic design by Alessio Iannuzzi, liner notes (in Italian and English) by Francesco Argento and mastering by Enrico De Gemini.
