A vibrant selection of Jazz, Funk and Psychedelic grooves from the golden era to wicked contemporary Library music. What is Library Music? “Library music” isn’t about books or actual libraries. It was music made mostly in the 1960s–80s for film, TV, and commercials—basically a stock catalogue of sounds that producers could license for whatever mood they needed: suspense, chase scenes, love themes, funky action sequences, you name it. It wasn’t sold in record shops for the public, but stored in special ‘libraries’ that studios and broadcasters had access to. Because of that, it stayed kind of hidden from everyday listeners—yet you’ve probably heard it without realising, in old TV shows, cult films, or even sampled in hip-hop. Imagine grooves so funky, jazzy, or psychedelic that they were too good to just stay in the background. That’s library music. Italian library music has its own special flavour compared to, say, the British or French libraries: • The Golden Era (late 60s–70s): Italy produced some of the funkiest and most adventurous library records during this time. Many were connected to the Italian film industry (giallo, poliziotteschi, spaghetti westerns, erotic comedies), so the music leaned heavily into cinematic drama, groove, and atmosphere. • Musicians behind it: A lot of the composers were serious jazz, funk, or classical musicians who recorded anonymously or under pseudonyms for library labels (like CAM, Fonit Cetra, and Gemelli). Names like Piero Umiliani, Alessandro Alessandroni, Stelvio Cipriani, Bruno Nicolai, and Ennio Morricone (early in his career) show up often.
