Original Music From The Score "Alfie"

The 1966 sessions for Impulse Records document a pivot from hard bop toward the looser textures of post-bop jazz. By focusing on a primary motif, the compositions maintain a cohesive structure while allowing the performer to explore different improvisational directions.

These arrangements carry an urgent and close feeling suited to the environment of mid-sixties New York. The recordings demonstrate how a focused musical framework can successfully serve a cinematic narrative without sacrificing the spontaneity required for effective jazz performance.
