Piero Piccioni

Incredible Song, the 70's Italy R&B/jazz and score movement is probably as amazing as its American R&B/jazz score counterpart.

"probably as amazing as its American R&B/jazz score counterpart"? ..What? Would you please tell me where is the American counterpart of Piero Piccioni, Piero Umiliani, Armando Trovaioli, Alessandro Alessandroni, Franco Micalizzi, Ennio Morricone, Bruno Nicolai, Francesco de Masi, Marc 4, Pregadio, ecc? How can you compare such Italian music score geniuses with any "american Conterpart"? The Italian psychedelic-bossa-Lounge and easy-listening music of '60s and '70s is just unique and irripetible

[mariobaez]

Sorry, I meant when Ennio Morricone came to America and immersed the soundtracks with the Western theme.

I wasn't saying there was any American equivalent, but more of where Ennio got his name out there.

Piero Piccioni is a million times better than any B.S. 'dub' plagiarizing bastardizing shit-passing-for-music so-called 'genre' being made by todays can't play or write to save their asses crowd...

C'ESTA PRIMERA INFLUENZA DI ROXY MUSIC!!! VIVA EUROPA!!!

[JusPrimaeNoctis]

@vampyros1 Bossa is brazilian, Sitar is Indian, Blues has been developed by Af

ro, and jazz has been highly influenced by italians too in the early 1900. The fact is this, 60-70's US-Briish music is just funk-beat-shake, that's it, which is often monotonous and repetitive ..our genius resided in histrionism, we invented many film music and cinema genres, you are very reductive, for instance where do you find an American counterpart of Piccioni?...He is way beyond of just funk shake or bossa

[vampyros1]

@JusPrimaeNoctis Here's your quote: "The Italian psychedelic-bossa-Lounge and easy-listening music of '60s and '70s" ... had "no American counterparts". THOSE were the genre's you were talking about. Newsflash: hearing a bit of funky wah-wah guitar there? It's American. The lilt of a Bossa Nova? It's Brazilian. Fuzz guitar? British. Sitar? Indo/Brit. Jazzy chords? Blues? Funk? AMERICAN. As seen on any Easy Tempo comp., the Italians knew GENIUS when they saw it. LIVE WITH IT-

[vampyros1]

@JusPrimaeNoctis The earliest strains of psychedelia (fuzzbox and sitar) came from England. Bossa (a hybrid of Brazilian cultural music and U.S. jazz) was hugely influential. Jazz, rock, funk ... all 3 pillars of the 'easy scene', came from the U.S. America need not have had "counterparts" to the Italian composers, for it was the Italians who appropriated a homogenization of what was born on American shores (as well as British & Brazilian). They did it well, but the template wasn't theirs.

@vampyros1

Hi, first of all I agree with your tastes :) and I never said the world didn't produce lot of monster composers all over the world at that time...nor I was referring to other great European guru of soundtracks, but just to the "American counterpart", for the simple reason that some particular music were composed purposely for italian/sexy comedies, giallos, spaghetti westerns, mondo movies, peplums, all genres that were a prerogative of the Italian film production of 60-70's.

@JusPrimaeNoctis Pt. 2 America's blaxploitation, funk, cop show themes and jazz were all >>incomprehensibly influential<<, and the mighty Burt Bacharach was the King out of every name I've mentioned here (and very American). My favorites are England and Germany, but I love it all. You don't have to agree with my tastes, but to imply Italy was the only country worthy of the EZ-pantheon when nearly every genre integral to the movement emanated from elsewhere (mostly the USA) would be delusional.

[vampyros1]

@JusPrimaeNoctis Pt. 1 Piccioni, Umiliani, Micalizzi, Morricone, Marc 4 and de Masi, Lesiman, Mirageman and Cipriani were all terrific. But other locales contributed too; Peter Thomas and a ton of other Germans, Alan Hawkshaw, Syd Dale and a bunch more Brits, Janko Nilovic, de Roubaix, Mancini, Jobim, ad nauseam. They were all brilliant. The Germanic Vampyros Lesbos is an incomparable sleazy experience, and Brazil gave us the Bossa.
