Maybe the biggest, best collection we've ever seen to feature the work of one of our favorite soundtrack composers of all time – a package that brings together most of his key albums, plus lots of additional side projects, jazz records, and lots of other surprises too! The format is great – a book-styled cover with a huge set of notes and images – 319 tracks, and over 18 hours of music within – all very much worth the price! And if you're fans as much as we are, you'll want to know what's inside, so here goes: CD1 and CD2 feature Schifrin-related Verve Records jazz tracks – work by Bob Brookmeyer,
Stan Getz, Jimmy Smith, Cal Tjader, and others – plus Schifrin Verve jazz tracks too! CD3 and CD4 feature the
Dizzy Gillespie albums Free Ride and Gillespiana, plus bonus tracks. CD5 features the albums Mission Impossible and More Mission Impossible. CD6 features the soundtracks Mannix and Murders Row. CD7 features the soundtracks for Bullitt and Cool Hand Luke. CD8 features the Verve albums Once A Thief and Schifrin/
