WITH SOME SCORES ON CD FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER! RELEASED IN A LUXURY CLAMSHELL, 8CD CARD WALLETS & A STUNNING 80 PAGE PERFECT BOUND COLOUR BOOKLET Crime jazz captured the mood not only of our post-war cities, but of a character as distinctly American as the cowboy that soulful, solitary seeker of justice, the private eye. This Unique and rare collection showcases some of the finest music and memorable U.S TV shows of a generation... The 1950 s a new style of musical score was introduced to film soundtracks & T.V... Previously, film music meant sweeping orchestral themes or traditional Broadway-style musicals. With the growing popularity of bebop and hard bop as the sound of urban cool, studios began latching onto the now beat as a way to make their movies seem gritty. In some cases, they hired actual jazz musicians to do the job, such as Duke Ellington for Paris Blues. More often they hired young composers who grafted jazz elements into big band arrangements (Elmer Bernstein being perhaps the foremost practitioner). Although jazz was used for all sorts of film and television shows, it seemed to meld best with stories of danger hard-nosed detective tales, studies of urban corruption, or spy thrillers. While not exactly on the same level of artistic expression as the leading jazz artists of their respective times, these compositions nevertheless convey the emotions demanded by the shows they backed. Many of them even employed the talents of great players like Stan Getz, Shorty Rogers, Quincy Jones, and Shelly Manne. This is another unmissable collection released on the iconic Moochin About label, celebrates these great T.V shows... with some scores available here for the first time ever on CD... With legends such as Nelson Riddle, Henry Mancini, Stanley Wilson and Warren Barker at the helm, you re in for one great journey through the murderous streets of Crime Jazz!

Review
Movie soundtracks with a jazz slant. The sixth in this classic box-set series delves into the world of TV film noir. Through the 1950s and into the 60s, composers such as Henry Mancini, Elmer Bernstein and Nelson Riddle, working with the best musicians on the west coast, defined a style. The sleazy alto saxophone, nerve-jangling brass, menacing bass clarinet these may have become cliches later, but on these seven discs they have bite and purpose. And the themes! Mancini s Peter Gunn, Bernstein s Johnny Staccato and Count Basie s M Squad are among the most gripping examples. --Dave Gelly The Observer ****
