Jazz Scenes gives twelve memorable film themes a fresh, improvisatory life. Saxophonist and flutist Tom Artwick leads an exceptional jazz quintet—featuring trumpeter John D’Earth, pianist Bob Hallahan, bassist Paul Langosch, and drummer Robert Jospé—through imaginative new arrangements of music from films including Alfie, Charade, The Pink Panther, The Odd Couple, and Black Orpheus. Drawn largely from the golden age of 1960s and ’70s cinema, these performances balance familiar melodies with inventive solos, vivid instrumental colors, and an easy, compelling swing. Jazz Scenes is a warmly recorded celebration of great movie music and great jazz playing.
