VA - Hollywood Swing & Jazz (2000/2010)
Jazz, Soundtrack | FLAC (tracks) | Cover | 02:34:16 | 572 MB + 5% Recovery
Label: Sony Classical | Tracks: 51 | Rls.date: 2010

The first disk surveys film music from the thirties and forties; jazz was no longer "jungle music" (i.e., ludicrously termed as "non-white" music), but still "youth-oriented," as the liner notes assert. Off the bat, the best track is most certainly the eighth, Artie Shaw's all-too-brief Nightmare (from MGM's Dancing Co-Ed). Though I readily admit that I've heard jazz that's been uplifting, making one want to leap and shout, and have heard jazz that leaves one bittersweet, melancholy, or even depressed, I've never heard eerie jazz before - said track is a piece of music that needs to be experienced. The well-known Mr. Bojangles and company chime in on the opening track with Living in a Great Big Way, a cheerful and happy track that, I dare say, plasters a smile on one's face. As true now as it was a half-century ago, the truism that You Have to Know How To Dance, as skillfully articulated by "Six Hits and a Miss," applies as much as to the hip Y2K club scene that pervades our beloved SoundtrackNet HQ as it does to the 1936 of the film Colleen. A seductive, rainy-day Hong Kong Blues is performed by the pianist Hoagy Carmichael in his (and Lauren Bacall's) big-screen debut. A droll narrator even informs the listener that (s)he is listening to a "jam session" before Lester Young's Jammin' the Blues.

Covering a later time period, the fifties and sixties, the second disk covers less individual performers by featuring multiple pieces from a given film. Bing Crosby and Louis Armstrong highlight the CD with a tutorial, so to speak, on the substance of the genre with Cole Porter's Now You Has Jazz. The great Satchmo also shines within various groups in their interpretation of Ain't Misbehavin' and I Got Rhythm, each selection from a different film. André Previn, Gerry Mulligan, and their respective combos articulate music appropriate to smoky jazz cafes with several selections from 1960's The Subterraneans. A tune that I've always found annoying, The Girl from Ipanema, instead sounds tranquil and pleasant in Stan Getz's capable hands. That impressed me. Also impressive were the three pieces by Count Basie & His Octet: Skol Sister, Goof Proof, and Lottie.

This two-disk set serves a dual purpose. First, it illuminates the social context in which jazz was perceived by contemporary American society over the course of thirty-odd years. Second, it features great music by notable performers. Either one alone would merit my recommendation, but with the combination of the two, I definitely recommend this collection. Because I feel that the second CD should have used as wide a collection of artists as did the first, I can't give this a five-star rating. Instead, I'll give this a 4½ out of 5 and call it a strong "should-buy."
