Jazz At The Movies
Using superior repertoire originally introduced or notably exploited on the silver screen as their starting point, JATM apply their refined dramatic and jazz sensibilities to produce sounds that celebrate the meeting point of songcraft and swingcraft. With material ranging from John Dankworth’s sultry noir ballad “All Gone” (The Servant, 1963) through the exotic kitsch of “From Russia With Love” (From Russia With Love, 1963) to the extrovert, feel-good swing of “Everybody Wants To Be A Cat” (The Aristocats, 1970), JATM create vibrant, entertaining music to delight song-buffs and jazz lovers alike.
