Le Jazz Magnifique

A special Japanese-only collection of jazz material from rare French soundtracks – cool cuts by both French and American players, originally issued as part of film scores for overseas movies back in the day! All the numbers here have been issued separately as part of the Ecoutez Le Cinema series of full soundtrack releases – but they somehow sound even better together here in this special package, which has a great deal of variety. Titles include 'Herbert Va Cogner' and 'Tontons Swing' by Michel Magne, 'Pop Mod' and 'Chasse A L'Homme' by Claude Bolling, 'Les Felins' and 'Generique' by Jimmy Smith, 'Debandade' and 'Anatole Et Arthur' by Georges Delerue, 'Audition' by Francois De Roubaix, 'Nostalgie Bresilienne' by Francis Lai, 'Trafic (version 2)' by Charles Dumont, and 'Poursite' by Stephane Grappelli. 18 tracks in all!
