OUT NOW | CONFESSIONE DI UN COMMISSARIO DI POLIZIA AL PROCURATORE DELLA REPUBBLICA | Two groovy tracks from Riz Ortolani's soundtrack on 7"

Out today for the first time on 7’’, the two grooviest tracks from the soundtrack composed by Riz Ortolani for “Confessione di un Commissario di Polizia al Procuratore della Repubblica” (aka, “Confessions of a Police Captain”), the renowned 1971 crime drama by Damiano Damiani, starring Franco Nero at the peak of his career. 

FORMAT: 7"
TITLE: Confessione di un Commissario di Polizia al Procuratore della Repubblica
ARTIST: Riz Ortolani

On Side A, “Serena e Lomunno” is a jazzy spell performed by an exceptional quartet - unfortunately uncredited - consisting of bass, electric guitar, drums, and piano. On Side B, the quartet reduces to a trio (sacrificing the piano) to give life to “Il ricordo di Serena,” without losing any of the rhythmic essence infused in the previous track. 

In both cases, the pieces’ structure is entirely supported by the perfect interplay of bass and drums, with particularly striking and sharp timbres, complemented by electric guitar and piano with their refined phrasings. 

The result? A succession of irresistible and elegant jazz-funk breaks, practically tailor-made for sampling.
