The Story
Release Date: 02/15/07
This soundtrack was written in 1963, and it is stylistically an indication of scores to come: 'Bullitt,' 'Dirty Harry, ' and even some of the avant-garde work heard in later pieces. The jazz roots are here, recorded by the top jazz musicians in Paris, mixed with a symphony orchestra, the occasional latin flavor: in other words, things to come. One of the main themes from the movie was recorded by the great jazz organist, Jimmy Smith, and became a very big hit for him ('The Cat'). Schifrin said of this score, 'If you compare my film career to a house, 'Les Felins' is it's foundation.'
