Straight from Alessandro Alessandroni's secret archives comes Jolly Mood, an album of previously unreleased material composed by the Maestro in the early 1970s to accompany a variety of lively, playful, and joyful situations or incidents depicted in films. Nearly all the pieces presented here come in several versions, reflecting a common practice of the time in soundtrack composition—themes were often reimagined in various styles to match scenes of different lengths and atmospheres.

From whimsical marches like "Army Joke" to rock'n'roll throwbacks such as "Balera Rock", and from cheerful outdoor motifs like "The Young Scout" to more jazzy, uptempo tunes like "Funny Blues" or "Jazzy Blues", this brilliant collection of cinematic, easy-listening music beautifully evokes the jolly moods enjoyed by 1970s Italian film audiences, who could feast on adventure films, farcical comedies, and other popular genres of the era.

Welcome to the Four Flies Vaults, a digital collection of rare Italian music specially recorded for film, radio and television, most of which is available for sync licensing.
