VA • Midnight in Paris

 



Review by Matt Collar
The soundtrack to Woody Allen's 2011 Oscar-nominated romantic comedy Midnight in Paris features a variety of jazz tunes and popular songs that are all generally associated with the film's 1920s Paris setting. While Allen actually transports his movie's main character back to the '20s, most of the music here was recorded by contemporary artists who play in an old-school style. To these ends, we get such roiling and urbane Gypsy jazz tracks as Swing 41's "Je Suis Seul Ce Soir," Original Paris Swing's "Recado," and even several Cole Porter vocal numbers by Conal Fowkes -- who appears as Porter in the film. Also featured are jaunty classic jazz cuts like Josephine Baker's conga dance number "La Conga Blicoti" and, of course, Sydney Bechet's "Si Tu Vois Ma Mère," which opens the film. Swooning and romantic in tone with a breezy, swinging jazz vibe throughout, the Midnight in Paris soundtrack is a must-have souvenir for traditional jazz lovers and any fan of the film.

Reseña de Matt Collar
La banda sonora de la comedia romántica Midnight in Paris de Woody Allen, nominada al Oscar 2011, presenta una variedad de temas de jazz y canciones populares que generalmente se asocian con el ambiente parisino de la película en la década de 1920. Aunque Allen transporta al protagonista de su película a los años 20, la mayoría de la música aquí fue grabada por artistas contemporáneos que tocan al estilo de la vieja escuela. Para estos fines, tenemos temas de jazz gitano tan furiosos y urbanos como "Je Suis Seul Ce Soir" de Swing 41, "Recado" de Original Paris Swing, e incluso varios números vocales de Cole Porter de Conal Fowkes, que aparece como Porter en la película. También se presentan cortes de jazz clásico como el número de Josephine Baker "La Conga Blicoti" y, por supuesto, "Si Tu Vois Ma Mère" de Sydney Bechet, que abre la película. Con un tono romántico y desenfadado, con un ambiente de jazz fresco y swing en todo momento, la banda sonora de "Midnight in Paris" es un souvenir imprescindible para los amantes del jazz tradicional y para cualquier fanático de la película.
