5.0 out of 5 stars here is the missing guitar piece, September 30, 2002

I too loved that beautiful piece for guitar that we heard a little over an hour into the movie. And it's not on the soundtrack CD! - So, for all those who'd like to have it, here is the full info on that piece:

It's called "The Cathedral" by Augustin Barrios-Mangore. It's a three movement piece and the final one, "Allegro Solemne" was the one used in the movie. I think the version for solo guitar is a special arrangement, but I did find 2 CDs with the full guitar version on Amazon. There is also a version with orchestra. And beware, some CDs only have the first movement of that piece included on the CD!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Movie, Great CD...but where's Dave's True Story?, April 8, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Kissing Jessica Stein (Audio CD)

I LOVED the movie & the soundtrack, but was disappointed that the two tracks by brilliant band: Dave's True Story, "Crazy Eyes" and "Sequined Mermaid Dress," didn't make the soundtrack. Both tunes added so much to the story. My solution...buy DTS' cd!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not really a soundtrack, but an inspired rendering, July 14, 2002

Caveat Emptor... The bottom of the CD cover says "music from and INSPIRED by the motion picture", so it isn't really the soundtrack from the film. Yes, some of the songs appear in the film, and many songs from the film are absent. For those seeking the two cuts from "Dave's True Story" (learning to kiss scene), you will have to buy the reissue of the "Daves True Story" CD (available on Amazon.com). Nevertheless, this CD provides an excellent, relaxing score to the single or swing-life in NYC. Liner notes are brief, but it does include the recording dates of each cut (some from the Verve catalog in the 1950s), and most include the names of the well known studio musicians who played backup.
