CRIME JAZZ

VA - Jazz on Film, Crime Jazz! [2014] (8 X CDs)

This 8-CD boxed set features Sixteen outstanding re-mastered scores from late fifties and early sixties detective TV shows; Two of which were never released on CD to my knowledge. Included are 77 Sunset Strip, Hawaiian Eye, M Squad, Staccato, Mickey Spillanes Mike Hammer, Music From Mike Hammer, Checkmate, Shotgun Slade, Peter Gunn, More Music From Peter Gunn, Mr Lucky, Mr Lucky (Goes Latin), The Naked City, The Untouchables, Bourbon Street Beat and Richard Diamond. All collected in their entirety for the first time, with some of them making their CD debuts! Composed by legends like Nelson Riddle, Henry Mancini, Stanley Wilson and Warren Barker, these scores will send you on a thrilling musical journey! 

This purchase is worth it not just for the immaculate sound production, but it contains one of the most "complete" booklets to go along with the music. All these Detective shows were classics, and this 8-box set takes you back to that Era when we tuned in not just for the starring detectives, but to dig the music that was always up front or in the background. Somebody really gave a damn about this boxset.

The music just flows along in its own world of "cool", and pretty quickly you find yourself immersed in that era of no-nonsense private eyes or cops.  The best of this music is atmospheric. You can almost smell the perfume of a woman as she brushes close to you, the stale smell of a cigarette smoldering in an ashtray, the clink of ice cubes in a glass sitting on a wet bar top, the sights, sounds, smells--the feel of late night big city streets--the distant howl of a police siren, the click of a woman's high heels as she walks away, or the click of a gun being cocked. And, just maybe, that unmistakable sound of a switchblade knife opening. But there's also the more sophisticated sound of a champagne cork popping, the swish of a swizzle stick in a dry Martini, a woman's laughter, or the smooth, low roar of a low-slung import car's motor as it drives off with that babe you were checking out in the lounge earlier. But everyone will form their own scenes in their mind's-eye listening to this great music. (B)
