Bullitt O S T Bullitt CDs (1996)

Alignment

$14.59

There's probably a good reason why the excellent soundtrack to the Steve McQueen film BULLITT, originally recorded in 1968, wasn't released on CD until 20 years later, but the important thing is that it now exists, and Lalo Shifrin fans can rest easy. By the late '60s, Shifrin had already built an impressive body of work, scoring jazz arrangements for top acts and working in television (his theme for MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE is permanently ingrained in the cultural memory), so that by the time he scored BULLITT his skills were at their peak. Like the film, the BULLITT soundtrack is both slick and action-packed, with lots of rhythmic, jazzy themes, burbling basslines, and brassy horns used to enhance the drama. These sections are counterbalanced by softer, more traditionally orchestral pieces, and the contrast makes for a rich and varied listen. Along with John Berry and Ennio Morricone, Shifrin is one of the few film composers whose music truly stands apart from the film, and BULLITT is no exception. Original score composed by Lalo Schifrin. Additional Tracks Recorded at WDR Studios in Cologne, Germany ...

Cool Hand Luke - Original Soundtracks Cool Hand Luke CD (1967)

Alignment

$14.29

Lalo Schifrin's soundtrack to the 1967 chain-gang drama starring Paul Newman concentrates on the sounds and instruments of rural America, from the use of banjos and harmonica in the main title and the standout "Tar Sequence" to the shuffled-feet rhythm on his soul-jazz arrangement of "Just a Closer Walk With Thee." Throughout, Cool Hand Luke echoes the claustrophobic prison atmosphere, with Schifrin moving from playfulness to violence, to tenderness with little warning. Indie-rock fans will probably recognize the skeletal banjo tune "Plastic Jesus" from the Flaming Lips' version, recorded for 1993's Transmissions From the Satellite Heart. ~ John Bush Of all the film scores Lalo Schifrin has composed -- good and bad, and yes, he's done some stinkers -- the score to Stuart Rosenberg's 1967 film Cool Hand Luke, a star vehicle for Paul Newman, is among his greatest achievements. First, there is the score itself, pure cinema in scope, breadth, and architecture. Next is its attempted marriage to bluegrass music -- not entirely successful, but pretty great anyway -- and finally there is Schifrin's attempt to offer an actual view of the character through the score, not just provide a series of incidentals ...

Bill O'Connell Triple Play CD (2008)

Alignment

$13.69

Bill O'Connell's seventh CD as a leader is full of catchy themes in a Jazz Latino (as opposed to Latin jazz) setting, according to liner note writer Felipe Luciano. The pianist, who is well accompanied by flutist Dave Valentin and Latin percussionist Richie Flores, starts off with his intense, driving "Triple Play." Things cool with the hip, infectious "Flying By," with Valentin's playful flute dancing over O'Connell's soulful Latin groove. The pianist's "A Call for Sanity" has a wistful air with Valentin switching to alto flute, while "Second Son" is a sauntering gem with its share of surprising twists. O'Connell also engages each ...
