Feelings
Stefano Torossi , Puccio Roelens
1986
Easy Tempo
First, some clarification: “Jay Richford” and “Gary Stevan” were pseudonyms for Stefano Torossi and Puccio Roelens respectively, two Italian conductors who rubbed elbows with the greats of film scoring but still stuck primarily to the library record world. This is their definitive classic in tandem, ten evocations of specific moods with utilitarian titles (“Flying High”; “Fighting for Life”; “Running Fast”) that nail a particular Euro-cosmopolitan cool while infusing it with a heavy measure of Isaac Hayes/Quincy Jones jazz-funk. The pungent wah-wahs, string stabs, and organ solos on this are — there is no other term for it — bad as hell.
