I Gres

Originally released in 1974, this is a must-have for any library DJ collector. I Gres were a studio group founded by Silvano Chimenti, bringing together some serious talent from the Italian session world.

The band name came from the members’ initials: G for organist Giorgio Carnini, R for maestro Roberto Pregadio, E for drummer Enzo Restuccia, and S for leading composer Chimenti.

Rare grooves and funky breaks run right through it, from Restless, a B-boy favourite also used as the main theme for the 1975 TV broadcast Dibattito Politico, to the movie-theme feel of Nonchalant and the cinematic pull of Grumblings.
