Ran Blake - Film Noir [24/48 vinyl rip]

"Ran Blake's dark piano style and dramatic improvisations make for a perfect match with the mood of film noir. This memorable set not only has Blake performing vivid explorations of six songs from films (including melodies from All About Eve, Pinky, A Streetcar Named Desire and The Pawnbroker), but five originals that somehow musically sum up the plots of other films (including Spiral Staircase and Touch of Evil). Blake is heard in a variety of settings ranging from solo and a duet with trumpeter Ted Curson up to an 11-piece band. Utterly fascinating interpretations that add up to a memorable gem." Scott Yanow

    I'm a big noir fan, but a minor Blake fan... still there's always hope. Good concept, and thanks for the opportunity to try it out!

    I'm a big Ran Blake fan, and a minor film score fan; but I'm sure there'll be something of interest for me here. Many thanks KinnCake...

    I'm a big King Cake fan, but I'm not really into jazz. If only I could figure out to download things... what"s the password? Oops! Somebody!

    Just kidding, not easy to do online.

    I'm also a big Ran Blake fan and a minor film score fan, and very happy to find a Ran Blake album I wasn't aware of - thanks!
