Jazz In Paris -- Jazz Et Cinema Vol 1 -- Un Temoin Dans La Ville/J'irai Cracher Sur Vos Tombes
CD (Item 37502) Universal (France), 1959 -- Condition: New Copy
It's no secret that some of the greatest jazz soundtracks ever were recorded in Paris -- and this CD contains 2 of them! First up is the landmark Un Temoin Dans La Ville -- recorded under the leadership of tenor sax player Barney Wilen, who had made such a huge contribution to Miles Davis' famous score for Acenseur Pour L'Echafaud. Wilen's score features 12 incredible tracks that are just dripping with black and white cinematic mood -- played by a group that includes Kenny Dorham, Duke Jordan, and Kenny Clarke. Titles on that set include "La Pendaison", "Sur L'Antenne", "SOS Radio Taxis", "La Vie N'est Qu'Une Lutte", and "Ambiance Pourpre". The remaining 6 tracks on the CD are from the very rare soundtrack to J'Irai Cracher Sur Vos Tombes -- written and arranged by pianist Alain Goraguer, with a group that includes trumpeter Roger Guerin, vibist Michel Hausser, and bassist Pierre Michelet. The soundtrack recalls a lot of Davis and Wilen's work together -- and tracks include "Theme De Liz", "Blues De Memphis", and "Surprise Partie Au Bord De L'Eau". © 1996-2009, Dusty Groove America, Inc. | |||||
