Alessandro Alessandroni E Il Suo Complesso

Alessandro Alessandroni — the whistling genius behind Morricone’s most iconic moments — steps out of the shadows for a session of pure Italian sophistication. Originally recorded in 1969 for Sermi’s Library Series, L’Ora Del Cocktail distills the elegance of Italian lounge jazz into a masterclass of rhythm and restraint.

Across twelve impeccably crafted cues, Alessandroni and his small ensemble move effortlessly from smoky bossa nova to brushed-drum jazz and cool modal swing. It’s music built for interiors — cocktails clinking, light catching glass, and the soft hum of night beginning. Every note is deliberate, every groove cinematic.

Long prized by collectors for its rare combination of compositional subtlety and sheer atmosphere, L’Ora Del Cocktail sits at the crossroads of Italian soundtrack culture and modern jazz intimacy — the blueprint for an entire era’s aesthetic of quiet style.

Pressed from the original analog masters and reissued by Four Flies Records, this edition restores one of Alessandroni’s finest non-soundtrack works to the turntable where it belongs.

File under: Italian library jazz, cinematic lounge, sophisticated groove.

Perfect for: twilight spins, bar ambience, and anyone who hears elegance as rhythm.
