Lunedi Cinema / Chaser

Cinematic funk heroes Calibro 35 present Lunedì Cinema / Chaser : a tribute to jazz-funk in a limited transparent edition 7” via Record Kicks. Cinematic funk Italian legends Calibro 35 are always in search of new territories to venture into. Their new journey is called ‘Jazzploitation’: a new EP paying tribute to jazz-funk and groovy cinematic-jazz and the great repertoire of cult artists such as Idris Muhammad, Piero Umiliani, Bob James or Grover Washington Jr. Side A is a cover of RAI TV’s legendary ‘Lunedì Cinema (Monday Movie)’ theme, a jazzy disco-funk mover composed by Lucio Dalla, which features for the occasion the scat singing of Sicilian artist Marco Castello (Nu Genea, Erlend Oye of Kings of Convenience). Side B is ‘Chaser’, a groovy jazz-funk stormer composed by Piero Umiliani, who originally recorded it for the soundtrack of 1975’s erotic-noir movie ‘The Body’, directed by Luigi Scattini.
