‘Tis the season and what better way to celebrate than to listen to your favorite holiday tunes? With Molto Groovy Christmas: A Holiday Tribute to 60s and 70s Italian Soundtracks, your most cherished Christmas songs are re-imagined in a hip, jazzy, fun and spirited fashion.
The brainchild of producer/writer/director Roman Coppola, along with producer Alessandro Casella and multi-instrumentalist Carlo Poddighe, the album was recorded in analog and was arranged in the style of 60s and 70s Italian soundtracks. Using vintage instruments, timeless Christmas ditties are given new spins and listeners could find themselves grabbing a partner or going solo as they boogie to these distinctive refrains at holiday parties or even small intimate family gatherings.
The opening track, “O Come All Ye Faithful,” has an amusing, breezy feel to it, as light-hearted percussion transforms this song into an infectious tune that listeners might find themselves whistling even long after the holidays are over.
“Jingle Bells” is given a wilder quality as Poddighe lets loose. This version has morphed a true holiday standard into a jaunty, bouncy, rockin’ tune that music fans are sure to appreciate.
The rendition of “Joy to the World” included here has a rock vibe with its organ heavy stirrings. The song’s transformation to a speedier tempo might also cause listeners to jump and dance in order to express their delight for the season.
“Silver Bells” brings some harmonizing along with vintage instrument play. A well-known song sung by carolers, this rendering melds wonderful percussion play with pleasing vocalization.
“Feliz Navidad,” the album’s 12th and final track, has an exciting ambiance with lots of percussion play and high-toned notes that are sure to get listeners attention. In the essence of the original, this take keeps the time-honored melody, but revamps its delivery through brilliantly executed arrangement on vintage instruments.
In conclusion, Molto Groovy Christmas: A Holiday Tribute to 60s and 70s Italian Soundtracks is an entertaining holiday album filled with unique interpretations of beloved Christmas staples that just might become a part of your holiday music traditions.
