What is new in my music library? (recent purchases I enjoy)

"ASFALTO SELVAGEM" is one of the rarest soundtracks ever made in Brazil, arranged by João Negrão. Truly a hard to find item!
Asfalto Selvagem is a 1964 Brazilian film directed by J.B. Tanko, a drama based on the first part of the novel "Asfalto Selvagem: Engraçadinha, Seus Pecados e Seus Amores", by writer Nélson Rodrigues.
Imagine Les Baxter meets Ennio Morricone and Armando Trovajoli on Jazz Bossa Nova."

Fantastic disc!
First ever official release for this unbelievable giallo score by ROBERTO NICOLOSI, composed for the experimental thriller by Mario Caiano in 1972.
Previously issued on the Fontana label in 1973 with the title “ATMOSFERA”, this is certainly one of most sought-after Italian jazz LPs for any serious collector, featuring a five-star collective of marvelous musicians such as GIOVANNI TOMMASO (bass), FRANCO TONANI (drums), ANGELO BARONCINI (guitar), ANTONELLO VANNUCCHI (organ), FRANCO D’ANDREA (piano), GIANNI BASSO, DINO PIANA (trombone), CICCI SANTUCCI (trumpet). The result is a psych and dark jazz-funk sound that perfectly fits the anxious descent into the labyrinth of the human psyche.

This soundtrack is considered one of the best, still underrated, Italian soundtracks ever, as well as one of the most unforgettable Italian jazz sessions of the 70s.
