Calibro 35 - Exploration
Legendary Milanese combo Calibro 35 continue their journey into the world of cinematic jazz-funk with their new album "Exploration." Set for worldwide release on June 6, "Exploration" marks their return to independent label Record Kicks after their last studio album "Nouvelle Aventures" released on Universal Music in 2023. The band picks up from their latest EP, "Jazzploitation," released on Record Kicks last October. "Exploration" is a deep dive into the universe of cinematic jazz-funk, showcasing both the band's reinterpretations of timeless classics such as Roy Ayers’ “Coffy” or Bob James “Nautilus” and original compositions by the band such us the lead single “Reptile Strut”, the jazz-funk stormer “The Twang” and the soulful cinematic number “Pied De Poule”. An exploration and a new journey for the Milanese combo that a long its way pays homage to artists such as Lalo Schifrin (Mission Impossible), Herbie Hancock (Chamelon) Italian Maestro Piero Umiliani (Discomania and Gassman Blues).
Cowboy Bebop, Seatbelts (1998)
Cataclysmically bold fusion or just jazz for weebs? And yet once one gets past the initial oddity of this beast fashioned of spaghetti western cowboy country and sleek crime jazz, one can only marvel at its faultless performances, total mood-setting and confounding cohesion. Is it enough to turn me into an avid OST listener? Still, maybe not.
Pick: ‘Tank!’
When we think of film noir, we tend to think of a mood best set by a look: shadow and light (mostly shadow), grim but visually rich weather, near-depopulated urban streets.
When we think of film noir, we tend to think of a mood best set by a look: shadow and light (mostly shadow), grim but visually rich weather, near-depopulated urban streets. You'll see plenty of that pulled off at the height of the craft in the movies that make up "noirchaeologist" Eddie Muller's list of 25 noir pictures that will endure, which we featured last week. But what will you hear? Though no one compositional style dominated the soundtracks of films noirs, you'll certainly hear more than a few solid pieces of crime jazz. Xeni Jardin at Boing Boing, writing about Rhino's eponymous compilation album, defines this musical genre as "jazzy theme music from 1950s TV shows and movies in which very bad people do very bad things." She links to PopCult's collection of classic crime jazz soundtrack album covers, from The Third Man to Charade (the best Hitchcock film, of course, that Hitchcock never made), to The Man With the Golden Arm, all as evocative as the music itself.

1959,
There are many to choose from, but this is my all time favorite version of the Peter Gunn theme.
Perhaps the fastest and heaviest version you'll ever hear.
I bought this LP for five cents at the Salvation Army in 1996. It is another contender for best "crime jazz" album of the late 1950s.
