5.0 out of 5 stars Double Your Listening Pleasure, November 15, 2002

The soundtrack for the Film "Devil in a Blue Dress" has two great musical styles to enjoy. The film(see my DVD review entitled Easy Does It for details) is a modern film noir that takes places in the post WWII era in Los Angeles.

The music is a mix of the old rhythm and blues styles, also called "Shout and Jump" and the film score. The songs included are pre cursors to rock and roll. You'll enjoy listening to such greats as T-Bone Walker,doing "West Side Baby". Duke Elllington's "Hy-Ah-Su", and Thelonious Monk's rendition of "Round Midnight". The film score by the legendary Elmer Berstein(Magnificent Seven/The Great Escape) is a smooth styling of definitive music for the Film Noir genre.There are 14 tracks in all, for a complete list see the buying info.

This album is a pleasure to listen to. I enjoy hearing it while I'm driving in rush hour. It takes me to another place!

thank you and enjoy.......Laurie

Enjoyed this movie. So we also enjoy blues and the good old jazz so ordered the CD Music from the Movie. Arrived in great condition from Vender. And so watch the movie and see if you want the music too. Rarely do we go looking for a song or tunes off a movie but this time we did just that. Everyone however has their own tastes in movies and definite tastes in Music. Only can speak for one man and one woman here over 50. Enjoy THIS LIFE1
