• Vaudeville music

Comment: if you are searching desperately for an instance of mood music/easy listening then a recommendation of mine would be the Italian musician Bruno Susio who has been releasing music since the year of 2010. You can enjoy halcyon Mediterranean themes played on guitar and accompanied by sparse drumming. Another example is a beatific piano driven incantation with hi-hat sounds in the mood of smooth jazz. You can also be embraced by fiercely rocking psychedelic organ-driven numbers and clear sailing glimpses through whistling, and the strumming of a banjo. Yet it is not an example of Americana at all, it is rather a stylized vaudeville music. Mostly the tracks are imbued with suggestive natural sounds coming in from the streets like the noises of a crowd, the brakes of vehicles etc. By watching the cover print of this 12-track outing you can see the author sitting on the concrete wall and enjoying a beautiful day and the time when the Sun goes down. It could be the same recommendation for you as well though beyond that it is widened a bit regarding the listening of this issue being released on Jamendo and Smart Note Records (although I am not able to find it out at the latter site). When I was younger I had been enjoying the music by Paul Mauriat. Now I am fancing this suggestive sound. Additionally.

Bruno Susio – Blues Espresso (2014)

Smart Note

/Mood music, Easy listening, Jazz, Chill out, Regatta pop, Yacht pop/

Comment: Bruno Susio`s Blue Espresso is properly up-to-date because of chiming like a breeze in the midst of depressing autumnal darkness. It is a moody blend of light-weighted yet picturesque jazz progressions, easy-going chill music and cloudless yacht pop chords filled with slightly psychedelic and artsy brass facets here and there. However, by harmonic side it winds up stepwise hence revealing the essence of the album`s core. It reminds me of the years throughout the 80s in the Soviet Union when such kind of music was played in the radio sometime between 2-5 PM. By the way, Bruno Susio is a man behind Smart Note Records, a label with the intent to distribute Italian-based soul, funk, and jazz groove all around the world. All in all, though this 19-minute issue is seemingly unpretentious the result is flawless. Love it.
