Augusto Martelli - The Real Mc Coy '1974/2024

Tracks list

"Augusto Martelli & The Real McCoy" is a true gem in the discography of Genoese
composer Augusto Martelli, one brimming with energy and vitality. Originally
released in 1974 on the composer’s own label, Aguamanda Records, the
album was recorded with a trusted group of session musicians – including
a killer rhythm section featuring Tullio De Piscopo on drums, Pino Presti on
electric bass, and Ernesto Verardi and Sergio Farina on guitars – who
accompanied their band leader Martelli through live performances, television
projects, and recording sessions.

From the very opening bars of "Jellybeans," listeners are immediately plunged
into an infectious atmosphere filled with captivating grooves, seductive vocals,
and arrangements that blend jazz-funk flair with vibrant Brazilian sounds. The
sensual beats of "Hey!" and the lively rhythms of "True Blue Samba" and "Sunset"
are simply impossible to resist, with excitement building alongside enthusiasm
in a manner characteristic of Martelli's gleeful signature style: as
light-hearted and bubbly as a variety show, and as dynamic and powerful as a
blaxploitation film theme.

Finally available in digital format, thanks to Four Flies Records!
