The 'Moochin About' label has just released a second set of 1950's jazz soundtracks - 8 films, on 5 CDs. This second set is titled 'Jazz on Film . .. Beat, Square, and Cool' and it includes the following films

  • The Wild One (Leith Stevens / Shorty Rogers)
  • Crime in the Streets (Franz Waxman)
  • I Want to Live (Johnny Mandel)
  • Les Tricheurs (Norman Gratz' JATP)
  • Paris Blues (Duke Ellington)
  • The Subterraneans (Andre Previn)
  • Shadows (Charlie Mingus)
  • The Connection (Freddie Redd)

I just received this set, and have not listened to it yet. I was so impressed with the overall quality of the first set, that I didn't hesitate to order the second.

Here is the website for the Moochin About label, with a better description of both box sets.
