Sonor Music Editions

Sonor Music Editions is honored to announce the reissue of the very rare LP “Aquarium Sounds” by Italian composer Filippo Trecca. Originally released in 1979 as a promo-only item, “Aquarium Sounds” is a hybrid collection of tracks; some were used as the soundtrack to the thriller TV series “Così Per Gioco” (1979), directed by Leonardo Cortese; others from the talk show “Acquario” (1978-1979) hosted by Italian journalist and writer Maurizio Costanzo. The album also includes “Elena Tip” which features playful vocals by a young Ilona Staller (aka Cicciolina). Released on limited edition of 500 copies only.

Sonor Music Editions exclusive mix for Radio Alhara streamed on 07/07/24, featuring tracks yet to be released from the upcoming projects.

The outstanding Rino De Filippi's "ASPETTI SOCIALI" under his famed moniker 'Awake', on the very elusive Vroommm label. A record that never surfaced around in the last years, like many from Vroommm, and which is a perfect proof of Maestro' De Filippi distinctive style, with also the uncredited participation of Giuliano Sorgini. A stunning work featuring many beautiful compositions on the same line of his best albums of the period like “Vacanze”, “Nel Mondo Del Lavoro”, “Meccanizzazione”, “Giardino Dei Miei Desideri” and “Tema Amore”. The crazy sleeve design reproduces image cuts of clashes and social unrest in Italy during 1970s. Enjoy the stunning Bossa Lounge theme “RIPRESA INDUSTRIALE” with its mind-blowing melodies and up-tempo bouncy rhythms. The killer hypnotic beats from “METROPOLI NEVROTICA”, the breezy harmonic Bossa on “ESCURSIONI TURISTICHE”, the moody baroque funky “GIOVENTU’ SCALPITANTE” and the unbelievable open drum breaks of “PALAZZO DEI CONGRESSI”. Stellar album!

Sonor Music Editions proudly presents "A TEMPO DI JAZZ" by Maestro Piero Umiliani. This lost gem captures the formative years of Modern Jazz in late 1950s Italy - alongside the legendary Basso-Valdambrini recordings in the early 1960s, as well as the early years of Piero Umiliani's long and prolific career as a composer with over 190 soundtracks, 40 library albums, and 35 TV title themes recorded. A TEMPO DI JAZZ includes seven original compositions by Piero Umiliani recorded in 1959. Here, at the age of 33, he lays a perfect ground with himself as a pianist, accompanied by some of the best Italian soloists at the time: Marcello Boschi on alto saxophone and flute, Ivan Vandor on tenor saxophone, Peppe Carta on bass, and the American trombonist Bill Gilmore. With plenty of room for improvisation, the sextet fuses Big Band moods with West Coast experimentation of Latin American rhythms and Modern Jazz ballads that sit perfectly between his soundtracks for the films "I Soliti Ignoti" (Big Deal on Madonna Street) from the same year that attained him international recognition, and his masterpiece "Smog" (featuring Chet Baker and Helen Merrill) from 1962. Five compositions are outtakes from Piero Umiliani's mega-rarity "Tempo Jazz", released on RCA Custom in 1960, while 'Tema In Blues' has been published on the two - impossible to obtain - 45 releases "Moderato Swing" (RCA Camden 45CP 112) and "Tema In Blues" (RCA Custom 45 R3) from 1960 as well as the previously unreleased track 'Mezza Cottura.' The music has been transferred and remastered from the original master tapes and lacquer cut in MONO, preserving the original sound of the recordings.

ELIOS is the new, long-awaited second album by the explosive combo PARBLEU. After the success of their debut masterpiece "Danse Cette Zik!", the band continues its deep exploration of a variety of styles and influences, synthesizing Afrobeat, Island Disco, House, and electronic grooves all awash with breezy vocals en francais. With ELIOS, Parbleu manages to evoke a very specific vibe of the 1980s' frenzy while maintaining a decidedly contemporary feel – a perfect hybrid of the Old and the New – with great elan. The resulting mix is a high energy trip around the world, from the Caribbean to the Cote d’Azur to the Persian Gulf to shores unknown. Bon Voyage! Mix courtesy of TommyBoy

Giovanni Tommaso is the greatest Italian Jazz bassist and founder and member of the most important ever Italian Jazz Rock ensembles, the Perigeo band. He composed "INDEFINITIVE ATMOSPHERE" at the end of 1969, released a few months after in 1970 on Sermi label, and recorded it at Rca studios in Rome. "INDEFINITIVE ATMOSPHERE" represents a special album for him and for us as well, since it was his first album released as a sole composer/artist. The Maestro digged in personal archive for us and finally found a copy of the original master tape containing part of the recordings. Besides the misspelled title "Indefinitive" instead of "Indefinite", that became part of the legend here, this album was incredibly ahead of his time, with the young Maestro Tommaso playing electric bass and contrabass a in studio ensemble composed of 3/4 elements plus the strings section, with plenty of stunning Jazz-Funk, Jazz-Rock and Free Jazz tracks. The session is also known for including the legendary American Jazz soprano sax Steve Lacy on the track called "Steve", where he plays a sax solo. We entirely restored the full session from the original tapes found, and digitally remastered the sound for a greater sound experience, chasing the original analog source.
