Piero Piccioni – A Modern Gentleman: The Refined Bittersweet Sound Of An Italian Maestro (2xLP)

Piero Piccioni was undoubtedly the "dandy" among Italian film music composers. The most stylish, in art as in life. On the occasion of the centenary of the composer's birth, CAM Sugar celebrates his art with a compilation that includes both his well-known and lesser-known works, as well as a precious handful of titles that, surprisingly, have remained completely unreleased until today.

The result is a journey of rediscovery of the Turin-born composer's unique, dazzling and distinctive sound. The silky, sensual and emotional "Piccioni touch" can be felt in every single composition he worked on during his long career, which ranged from jazz to bossa nova, funk, disco and orchestral music.

It is a note that gives harmony and coherence to a corpus of soundtracks that proves to be one of the most prestigious and important discographies in the world: eternal music, destined to last forever without ever sounding out of place, just like the timeless elegance of Italy and Piccioni.
