"A captivating deep cut from the golden age of Italian library music,
Il Ponte Dell'Asia
stands as one of
Piero Umiliani
's most evocative and exotic soundscapes. Originally released in 1967 as a private pressing for Italian the TV documentary by
Corrado Sofia
, this elusive gem blends Far Eastern motifs with the elegance of mid-century European jazz and the textured experimentation that defines Umiliani's best work. On
Il Ponte Dell'Asia
, Umiliani constructs a cinematic bridge between continents, layering modal melodies, sinuous flutes, shimmering vibraphones, and richly orchestrated strings over hypnotic rhythms and subtly psychedelic touches. The result is a masterful fusion of East-meets-West that channels both travelogue fantasy and avant-garde sophistication -- a rare synthesis of traditional instrumentation and modernist sensibility. Exported from the original tapes, and pressed on high-quality vinyl with faithfully restored artwork, this reissue offers a long-overdue return to one of Umiliani's most immersive sonic journeys, an essential for fans of Italian library music, film scores, and genre-defying jazz. Rediscover a lost jewel from the vault of one of Italy's most visionary composers -- where bamboo forests, smoky clubs, and dreamlike landscapes converge in sound."
