5.0 out of 5 stars Wild Man Blues (1998 Film) Soundtrack, February 11, 2000

By	Roy Ellis (Escondido, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wild Man Blues (1998 Film) (Audio CD)

First of all there are only two tracks on the CD that are in the film. Also the trombone player is different, as is the drummer. Never the less this is an excellent CD. I've been collecting traditional jazz records since 1937 and I don't normally like the New Orleans style but this band just clicks and I love it. Be prepared that out of 15 tracks, 8 are just a trio with clarinet, banjo and bass. I highly recommend the CD to any one that likes dixieland music.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent album/CD., September 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Wild Man Blues (1998 Film) (Audio CD)

This is one of the best CD that I have ever collected. I thank Mr. Woody Allen, producer and arranger Mr. Eddy Davis and their group for giving us such a wonderfull album. Listining to this CD gave me the ultimate mind blowing experience and I consider this to be the one of the best CD that I have in my collection. At the begining I was almost addicted to this CD. I am a collector of jazz music for some time. But at one point, I realized that many of them are similar and frankly speaking, a bit monotonous too. Then this CD, Wild Man Blues has really enliven my enthusiasm for music again. These CD does not leave any question about Mr.Allen's musical spirit. My request to Mr. Allen, Mr. Davis and their New Orleans Jazz Band is to produce more CDs of this genre of New Orleans Jazz and of such caliber. You can be sure that I will collect that. I recommend anyone who loves music to collect this CD now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Woody shares some soul, December 12, 2001

If you think New Orleans jazz is dated, peppy and thin, and that Woody Allen is nothing more than an eccentric celebrity filmmaker, buy this CD. Not only is the music fine and intelligent, but Woody shows us a side of him that his films don't capture. There's a sadness in the best pieces that goes beyond wistfulness, a beauty in unexpected places. Woody is serious about the music, but not preachy. The band and he make a lively, compelling, and thoughtful statement about music being one of the best aspects of existence.
