Album Review

A cleverly conceived collection, Soundtrack Factory's Woody Allen More Movie Music gathers more vintage big-band, swing, and hot jazz songs that appeared in Woody Allen films such as Stardust Memories and The Curse of the Jade Scorpion. Highlights include Edward Heyman and Robert Sour's "Body & Soul" from Stardust Memories, Alberto Dominguez's "Frenesi" from Radio Days, Louis Prima's "Sing Sing Sing" from Manhattan Murder Mystery, and the Erroll Garner Trio's "She's Funny That Way" from Deconstructing Harry. Bunny Berigan & His Orchestra's version of "Caravan" and Duke Ellington's "Sophisticated Lady" are two of the album's other standouts, along with performances by Benny Goodman, Bix Beiderbecke, Lester Young, and Mills Blue Rhythm Band. Woody Allen More Movie Music is an appealing compilation not just for Woody Allen buffs, but for fans of '30s and '40s jazz as well.
