The Modern Sound Quartet—one of Italian library music’s most treasured yet elusive outfits—finally steps into the spotlight. Led by visionary pianist-composer Oscar Rocchi, the quartet embodies the most refined jazz-funk, urban cinematic flair, and irresistible groove to emerge from 1970s Milan.
This boxset dives deep into standout cuts from Erbe Selvatiche, Floreama, Horoscope, and I Tarocchi—plus two heavy hitters from Pop-Paraphrenia, featuring a young and lethal Tullio De Piscopo on drums. Expect incendiary breaks, tight grooves, and high-intensity fusion passages. All tracks are previously unreleased on 7-inch, carefully selected to maximize pure rhythmic impact.
