Riz Ortolani - Si Puo Essere Piu Bastardi DellIspettore Cliff? '1973/2019

Tracks list

 Chris Soundtrack Corner proudly presents for the first time the complete
soundtrack to Massimo Dallamanos 1973 crime thriller, SI PU ESSERE PI BASTARDI
DELLISPETTORE CLIFF (which loosely translates as Can Anyone be More [of a]
Bastard than Inspector Cliff), also known by its American release title, MAFIA
JUNCTION). The film features a powerful, jazz-based score composed by
internationally-popular Italian film composer Riz Ortolani (1926-2014). Ortolani
may be best known internationally for his easy-listening and lounge-pop
soundtracks whose gently lyrical scores were as popular in Europe as well as the
USA, but in fact he was an articulate and versatile composer whose career since
1961 and its 225+ film scores spanned every genre. His provocative scores for
poliziottesco (Italian police thriller) films were authentically drawn from big
band and modern jazz traditions, and MAFIA JUNCTION is a thoroughly credible and
entertaining score that catches all the right elements of the genre. Riz
Ortolanis score saturates MAFIA JUNCTION with a persuasive, propulsive, and
totally absorbing pop/jazz score that both defined the genre as well as the
flashy, charismatic, self-confident character of Inspector Cliff. There is one
primary theme that runs throughout the score, two minor themes that appear in
association with subordinate characters or situations, and four standalone
tracks associated with individual sequences but are not repeated. This CD is the
first release of Riz Ortolanis MAFIA JUNCTION score in its entirety. Only two
tracks have been issued previously and as a bonus track weve also included
Ortolanis full-length instrumental arrangement of the famously unattributed
Romance Annimo (Anonymous Romance), which is heard briefly in the film. The
album is produced by Christian Riedrich and remastered by Stefan Betke. The CD
is accompanied by a 12-page illustrated booklet designed by Aletta Heinsohn
featuring detailed, exclusive notes on the film and its score.
