Jazz and film noir have always been the perfect marriage and 5 stonking CD's bear witness to that fact. Beautifully packaged just revel in the sumptuous music that accompanied such great films of yesteryear!
A Touch Of Evil (Orson Welles), Sweet Smell Of Success (Burt Lancaster and Tony Curtis), The Man With The Golden Arm (Sinatra) and much more besides. All great themes, orchestrations and moods - this is manna from heaven, a unique collection for film and jazz buffs alike.
This is going to conjure up smokey bars, femme fatale, beatnik junkies and dropouts! They're all here Elmer Bernstein, Duke Elllington Henry Mancini, shorty Rodgers and the Chico Hamilton Quintet. This collection is an incredible work of film scoring and this fascinating insight will enthrall you! A must have, go buy!
