BULLITT (1968)

Best known for his "Mission: Impossible" theme song, Lalo Schifrin is an Argentinean-born composer, arranger, pianist, and conductor, whose jazz and classical training earned him tremendous success as a soundtrack composer. Born Boris Claudio Schifrin in Buenos Aires on June 21, 1932, his father was a symphonic violinist, and he began playing piano at age six. He enrolled in the Paris Conservatoire in 1952, hitting the jazz scene by night. After returning to Buenos Aires, Schifrin formed a 16-piece jazz orchestra, which helped him meet Dizzy Gillespie in 1956. Schifrin offered to write Gillespie an extended suite, completing the five-movement Gillespiana in 1958; the same year, he became an arranger for Xavier Cugat. In 1960, he moved to New York City and joined Gillespie's quintet, which recorded "Gillespiana" to much general acclaim. Schifrin became Gillespie's musical director until 1962, contributing another suite in "The New Continent"; he subsequently departed to concentrate on his writing. He also recorded as a leader, most often in Latin jazz and bossa nova settings, and accepted his first film-scoring assignment in 1963 (for Rhino!). Schifrin moved to Hollywood late that year, scoring major successes with his indelible themes to Mission: Impossible and Mannix. Over the next decade, Schifrin would score films like The Cincinnati Kid, Bullitt, Cool Hand Luke, Dirty Harry, and Enter the Dragon. - Steve Huey, All Music Guide

This is the cool soundtrack for the motha*^$3 bad-ass movie Bullitt.

The Million Dollar Orchestra - Better Days ( 2008 )

" Like BBE labelmate and former Torontonian Robert Strauss, Glasgow’s Al Kent has a fantastic feel for the warmth and richness of disco. Clearly influenced by string-laden recordings from mid-’70s New York, the producer once worked with loops and samples, but now leads The Million Dollar Orchestra through one of the most magical modern takes on disco these ears have heard. Joyful from start to finish. " eyeweekly.com
