Sony/Norte, 2006. Used ... $3.99
Pacific Jazz, 1956. Used ... $3.99
Although the initial release of this music was a cheap attempt to cash in on the tragic fame of the late James Dean, this 1956 session was also one of the nicest big band dates to come out of the Pacific Jazz catalog of the 1950s! Chet Baker and Bud Shank are the featured soloists of the set ... (Jazz, Soundtracks) read more CD

RPM (UK), 1963/1966. Used ... $4.99
2 lesser-known John Barry soundtracks – back to back on one CD! Zulu is pulled from a colonial period film that starred Michael Caine, and about half the score is straight orchestral scoring – dramatic music to set the mode of the narrative – but the other half are more African-so ... read more CD

Apple, 1968. Used ... $3.99
Sure it's a soundtrack, and sure it's got a number of songs that are just instrumentals from the film – but the record also features some excellent late Beatles tracks that can only be found here – including the killer tracks "Hey Bulldog" (almost a funky nugget), "Only A ...

Blue Note (Japan), 1972. Used ... Just Sold Out!
An excellent lost funky soundtrack on Blue Note – their only one for years, and Grant Green's entry into the blacksploitation genre! The whole thing bristles with the kind of chunky, thumping percussive feel as the best funky soundtracks of the era – informed by the work of Curtis ... (Jazz, Soundtracks) read more CD

Warner (France), 1973. Used ... $11.99
One of the best of the blacksploitation scores from the early 70s – thanks largely to some great work by JJ Johnson! Johnson keeps some nice grooves in the tracks – especially on the instrumental version of the main theme, which is a great sample track, and on some of the more action-or ...

Mercury/Verve, 1965/1966. Used ... $15.99
2 of Quincy Jones' groundbreaking 60s soundtracks on one CD! The material here isn't funky like his 70's work, and shows Quincy more in a dark brooding thriller vein. The Pawnbroker score has an orchestra filled with great jazz players like Freddie Hubbard, Anthony Ortega, Oliver Nelson, Elvin ... (Jazz, Soundtracks) read more CD

Right Stuff, 1974. Used ... $6.99
A wonderful mid 70s set from Gladys Knight & The Pips – a soundtrack date written and produced by Curtis Mayfield, who really helps bring a lot of depth to their music! Curtis really helps Knight and the group get out of some of their hit cliches of the 70s, and find some hipper space ... (Soul, Soundtracks) read more CD

Les Parapluies De Cherbourg (Umbrellas Of Cherbourg) (complete version) ... CD Sony (France), 1965. Used 2 CDs ... $8.99
One of the most wonderful soundtracks ever! Michel Legrand wrote the jazzy groovy score for this legendary French film from the mid 60s – and every word of dialogue in the film is sung throughout, making for a very cool, ever-changing array of vocal bits and jazzy styles. Embedded in here ... read more CD

Kilmarnock, 2010. Used ... $2.99
Composer Galt MacDermot is best known to the world for his famous work on stage and in films – but the pianist was also a jazz musician at his start, and has continued performing for decades – as you'll hear on this relatively recent set! The group here is a well-oiled unit that Galt ... (Jazz, Soundtracks) read more CD
Atlantic (Japan), 1957. Used ... $9.99
The MJQ always manage to sound especially great when working on music for film – and this album's a great illustration of that fact!

Jazz Plaza, 1958. Used ... $14.99
This is the small combo recording of tracks from the legendary jazz score to I Want To Live!

Lalo Schifrin —
Bullitt – Original Soundtrack ... CD Aelph, 1968. Used ... $14.99
Fantastic stuff! In case you don't know it, this is one of Lalo Schifrin's most incredible soundtracks, and it's a stunning mix of jazz, bossa, and groovy grooves. There's lots of cool bubbling electric bass, lilting keyboards, and moody breezy rhythms. Nearly every cut's a winner, and if you ... read more CD

Aleph, 1971. Used ... $24.99
A lost bit of work by Lalo Schifrin – previously unissued recordings from the soundtrack of the original Dirty Harry film! We've been grooving to the Dirty Harry Anthology collection for years – as it features some of Lalo's best early 70s funky work – but the tunes on this set ... read more CD

Warner, 1973. Used ... $9.99
A classic to end all classics – and the record that showed the world that the kung fu genre could be every bit as funky as American crime and action films! Lalo Schifrin's at the height of his powers on this set – working in a blend of raw guitars, rolling bass, and choppy rhythms that ... read more CD
(Out of print gold CD pressing.)
Aleph, 1982. Used ... $2.99
A bit later than classic Schifrin vintage, but not without some nice moments! The score to this thriller is a bit more dramatic than usual for Lalo – and it's peppered with some darker bits, and some lighter, almost TV-cop show type ones. A few numbers are a bit cheesy, but overall the ... read more CD

Mercury, 1974. Used ... Just Sold Out!
A stunner of a soundtrack from the maestro Barry White – his only entry into the blacksploitation film genre of the 70s, and a complete doozy throughout! For the album, Barry's stripped down the bigger space of his own records, and his Love Unlimited productions – into some shorter ... (Soul, Soundtracks) read more CD

Ata Tak (Germany), 1999. Used ... $14.99
A very strange record that's a wild weird blend of easy listening tunes and avant classical bits – all recorded by Marvin Martin, and put together in a lovingly sexy package by German art photographer Charles Wilp! Ostensibly, the music was originally compiled to go with a package that Wilp ... (Sound Library, Soundtracks) read more CD

John Zorn —
Big Gundown – John Zorn Plays The Music Of Ennio Morricone ... CD Icon/Nonesuch, 1985. Used ... $4.99
A groundbreaking album, put together by Zorn and a group of downtown New York hipsters, as a fitting hommage to the genius of Ennio Morricone! The track list sticks to mostly the bigger known numbers, and the album's got a darkness that we'd actually say was a bit out of place, considering the ... (Jazz, Soundtracks) read more CD
