Tempo D'Estate by Fabio Fabor

Tempo d’Estate is an album of unreleased recordings composed and arranged by Fabio Fabor, featuring luxurious orchestral arrangements. These tracks, incredibly never published before, were almost certainly conceived as soundtracks for Italian films, documentaries, newsreels, and TV investigations from the early to mid-1960s.

The sonic mood is pure easy listening, sometimes blended with jazz, other times with bossa nova or Latin rhythms, to create light, airy melodies and lively orchestrations, punctuated by strings, electric guitars, and flutes. It's the ideal soundtrack for Italy during its economic boom – a country optimistically looking toward the future, buoyed up by newfound prosperity and chasing new dreams.

The album offers a snapshot of Italian summers in the Sixties – a season of suspended time filled with desires, everyday adventures, romantic encounters, and sudden melancholies unfolding between cities left silent and deserted in the August heat and sea beaches crowded with vacationers. It tells the story of a simpler, brighter era when everything still seemed possible.
