Review by Stephen Gough

Sole Spento by Fausto Papetti: A Lazy Afternoon in Vinyl Form Alright, let’s talk about Sole Spento, the 1963 gem from Italian sax maestro Fausto Papetti. If you’re into smooth grooves that feel like sipping an espresso on a sun-drenched piazza, this album might just be your jam. It’s got Pop, Blues, Jazz—and not one, but three styles under its belt: Easy Listening, Rhythm & Blues, and Latin Jazz. Basically, it's like a musical lasagna with all the good layers. First off, props to Durium for putting this out back when vinyl was king (and Spotify wasn’t even a twinkle in someone’s eye). And can we take a moment to appreciate Papetti himself? Dude rocks the alto saxophone like nobody’s business. His tone is buttery-smooth, kinda like those old-school Italian leather jackets—stylish, timeless, and slightly mysterious. Now, onto the tracks. I gotta shout out “Sapore Di Miele” because, dude, what a vibe. The title means "Taste of Honey," which sounds fancy until you realize it’s basically the soundtrack to chilling on your couch while pretending life isn’t falling apart outside. The melody slides over you like honey dripping off a spoon—slow, sweet, and sticky enough to make you forget whatever stress you had five minutes ago. Plus, there’s this sneaky little rhythm section doing its thing in the background, keeping things spicy without stealing the spotlight. Then there’s the titular track, “Sole Spento,” which translates to something like “Extinguished Sun.” Dark, right? But don’t worry; it’s less emo teenager diary entry and more sultry Mediterranean sunset. This one sticks with me because Papetti somehow makes sadness sound… well, sexy? Like, if heartbreak came with mood lighting and a glass of red wine, this would be its playlist. You can practically see the cigarette smoke curling around the room as he plays. Cheesy? Maybe. Effective? Absolutely. What’s wild about Sole Spento is how effortlessly cool it feels. There’s no pretentious noodling or overly complicated solos—just solid tunes played with soul. Honestly, listening to it feels like hanging out with an old friend who always knows exactly what to say (or play) to lift your spirits. So yeah, here’s my hot take: If you’re looking for music that’s equal parts lounge lizard and lovable loser, grab yourself a copy of Sole Spento. Just don’t blame me if you end up daydreaming about Vespa rides through Rome every time it spins. Final thought? Fausto Papetti probably could’ve written jingles for pasta commercials and still sounded cooler than most jazz legends. Go figure.
