Quincy Jones And His Orchestra • The Pawnbroker

 

This soundtrack to Sidney Lumet's 1964 film The Pawnbroker might not rate with such other Quincy Jones celluloid efforts as In the Heat of the Night, but its fine mix of jazz, bossa nova, soul, and vocals still makes it one of his best. Bookended by two vocal takes of the main title theme (one by Marc Allen and one from Sarah Vaughan), the bulk here shows off Jones' deft touch with mixing disparate elements into a coherent and swinging whole ("Harlem Drive," "The Naked Truth"). There's also plenty of noir-ish moodiness and even some dialogue by the star, Rod Steiger. And with trombonist J.J. Johnson and trumpeter Freddie Hubbard chiming in as well, the mix maintains its sophisticated air throughout. The Pawnbroker is a must for both Jones fans and film music buffs.

Esta banda sonora de la película de Sidney Lumet The Pawnbroker (1964) puede que no esté a la altura de otros trabajos de Quincy Jones en el celuloide, como In the Heat of the Night, pero su fina mezcla de jazz, bossa nova, soul y voces la convierten en una de sus mejores. Con dos tomas vocales del tema principal (una de Marc Allen y otra de Sarah Vaughan), el grueso de la película muestra el hábil tacto de Jones para mezclar elementos dispares en un todo coherente y lleno de swing ("Harlem Drive", "The Naked Truth"). También hay mucho humor noir e incluso algunos diálogos de la estrella, Rod Steiger. Y con la participación del trombonista J.J. Johnson y el trompetista Freddie Hubbard, la mezcla mantiene su aire sofisticado en todo momento. The Pawnbroker es una obra imprescindible tanto para los fans de Jones como para los aficionados a la música de cine.
