This review is from: The Last Time I Committed Suicide (1997 Film) (Audio CD)

I wouldn't give up this Cd for anything in the world. My fiance bought it for me after I spent a year searching for it. She found it here at Amazon.com and I never get tired of it. The movie is also wonderful; Stephen Kay did a marvelous job of writing and directing it. I am an all out "Last Time I Committed Suicide" fan.

This review is from: The Last Time I Committed Suicide (1997 Film) (Audio CD)

From the beginning of the CD, you feel it. The music that shaped a generation and continues to shape generations to come. With the first track, which opens the film, we see a young Neal Cassidy and then from track to track, we see the definition of what the Big Beat really was, not one person and not one philosophy. It was like many things in the 1950's, an explosion of sound and color and possibilities.
Though the CD has some shortcommings, specifically some of the inbetween filler (the conversations that Keanu has are really quite trite and completely replacable) but with that said, overall, this CD has become a staple in my collection. I love the new classic status that PET has recieved, even though that is there only song like this. Begin with this CD if you want to know jazz the old fashion way. By creating the pictures and sounds in your head. Then watch the movie. You will not be dissapointed.

This album, much like the movie that it accompanies, is a brilliant assessment of the Beat Jazz movement of the late 1950's. It draws on a selection of landmark jazz recordings, arranged in an intelligent and enjoyable progression. Anyone whose ever even heard of Jack Kerouac or Neal Cassidy will dig this one.
