Style, released in 1974, was the last album issued under composer/arranger/multi-instrumentalist Gianni Oddi's leadership. Shortly thereafter, he was hired by Ennio Morricone as his principal soloist on saxophone. This album was privately issued by RCA Italy as a sound library recording; its compositions were to be leased by cinema and television productions and in commercials. While it was a common practice for independent labels, many of whose stock in trade was library music, RCA Italy only did it for a few years. Despite the contract purpose to create tunes to be used as soundtrack and serial material, on Style, Oddi delivers a masterwork in the genre; every tune fits its companions like the fingers in a glove.
