TheRetroElevator

Step into a world of rare and beautiful musical gems from the 1970s, shaped by Italian and French artists whose distinctive touch and musical finesse brought together jazz, easy listening, Latin grooves, and the dreamy allure of early synth sounds.

These tracks strike a delicate balance between warm acoustic instruments and vintage electronic tones. You’ll hear elegant pianos, mellow brass, and shimmering vibraphones blended with quirky, expressive synth textures. Picture lush organ swells, playful Moog-style flourishes, soft ambient layers, and gentle rhythmic pulses: all merging into a sound rooted in retro charm and glowing with a forward-looking spirit.

Whether you're unwinding, drifting through a laid-back afternoon, or simply soaking in the atmosphere of a bygone era, this playlist sets the tone for a journey into that timeless vibe. Press play — and let the music carry you.

Hello! This time I would like to introduce you to the wonderful vocal exercises of Barbara Moore, a talented composer and arranger from the UK. Moore composed music for commercials and is notable for her collaborations with many popular artists such as Elton John, Dudley Moore (her husband), Tom Jones and many others, but today we will focus on her work in the field of jazz and easy listening. I've also added a few Bossa Nova songs from the German library to this playlist. Hope you don't mind ;)

[TheRetroElevator is now on Patreon]

At one time I built up a good deal of music, insights and inspiration to create a channel where I would share the tracks I liked. I've been always a big music addict and one of the particular styles of music, which excited me in that special way, has always been the easy listening music from the 1960s and the 1970s.

Having started TheRetroElevator (formerly known as PolidoNobre) back in 2008, still I keep on searching for new inspirations and over the years this search as well as the visual approach to the Channel became more meaningful and conscious.

I am really inspired that my tastes appeared similar to tastes of so many people all over the world and thank you so much for subscribing to my Channel. What is more, from now on you may support TheRetroElevator at Patreon to keep the Channel going and to reward my humble efforts.
