Reissues Mania

June is all about remaster and repress:

we are glad to present you the latest releases from our reissue programme. Get ready for a deep diggin’ session into Italy’s past and discover obscure gems!

Piero Umiliani needs no introduction for all the fans of Italian soundtracks: the maestro is back on Schema Rearward with four amazing titles:

- “I soliti Ignoti” the very first Italian Jazz soundtrack, on 7”,
- “Da Roma a New York” with his soloists,
- “Smog” featuring Chet Baker and Helen Merrill
- “Parole e Musica” with Helen Merrill.

The highly sought after “The Feed-Back” comes back (producers, beatmakers are warned: The Gaslamp Killer is a fan!). The Group, was a pseudonym for Gruppo D'Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza, a side project of well known soundtrack composer Ennio Morricone along with other experimental musicians. The rock-focused attitude of the record is quite surprising for such a team of classically-trained men already in their forties!

Filled with hypnotic bass lines, heavy drums and screaming fuzz guitars "Underground", is the first LP of the fictitious group known as Braen's Machine (behind the ensemble there is Alessandro Alessandroni).

Style”, is an extremely rare album which was not conceived for sale but for synchronisation purpose only.

“Dicky Oliver” is a super funky 10 track LP with furious Hammond and great horn sections. Among the tracks, “The Chicken” is a floor-killer James Brown cover, fuelled by a powerful groove.

“Quartetto” is another rarity: Quartetto di Lucca is a famous Italian Jazz 4tet that accompanied Chet Baker for several months at the end of ʼ59.

And if you missed “Playing With The Trio”, it deserves a thorough listening session, tip!
