Big Bang Present Italo Funk 1960 - 1980 / Various

2011 collection. Italo-Funk highlights a unique time in Italy when soundtrack composers and Jazz musicians pushed the boundaries of Funk with Avante-Garde Easy-Listening, Electronic-Synth-Funk and cosmic Jazz-Funk. Italian Funk Experience features lost soundtrack gems from cult soundtrack composers such as Piero Piccioni and Piero Umiliani, modal-Jazz classics from Lee Konitz and Giovanni Tommaso, twisted Italian Funk from the likes of Tony Esposito and super-rare pieces from the cult Italian library music label Rotary, many composed by Italian Jazz legend Amedeo Tommasi.
