It's compilations like this that make one wish she or he lived in some
other country where Universal does business because the U.S. gets the
last consideration when it comes to reissues. The Japanese and Europeans
come first and second, then Brazil and Latin America, then the United
States, and this Music Club issue of jazz versions of spy movie music
and thriller TV themes is a prime example. Take a gander at the track
list: from Basie doing the theme from M-Squad and Lalo Schifrin's
original Dirty Harry theme to the James Taylor Quartet's acid jazz
reading of the Starsky and Hutch theme, the strange, spacy reading of
Isaac Hayes' "Theme from Shaft" by the Alfred Hauser Orchestra, and
Sammy Davis, Jr. wailing on "Keep Your Eye on the Sparrow" for the
Baretta TV show, this set is all killer, no filler and highly
recommended. For the most part, these are indeed jazz versions of these
tunes, but there are no extended improvisations or academic strategies
employed to cool them off. If anything, the joy most of these performers
take in interpreting this material loosens them up considerably.

Recopilaciones como ésta hacen que uno desee vivir en otro país donde
Universal hace negocios porque los EE.UU. tienen la última consideración
cuando se trata de reediciones. Los japoneses y los europeos son los
primeros y los segundos, luego Brasil y América Latina, luego los
Estados Unidos, y este número de Music Club de versiones de jazz de
música de películas de espías y temas de TV de suspense es un buen
ejemplo. Echa un vistazo a la lista de canciones: desde Basie haciendo
el tema de M-Squad y el tema original de Dirty Harry de Lalo Schifrin
hasta la lectura de jazz ácido del Cuarteto de James Taylor sobre el
tema de Starsky y Hutch, la extraña y espaciada lectura del "Tema de
Shaft" de Isaac Hayes por la Orquesta de Alfred Hauser, y Sammy Davis,
Jr. llorando en "Keep Your Eye on the Sparrow" para el programa de
televisión Baretta, este set es todo asesino, sin relleno y altamente
recomendado. En su mayoría, son versiones de jazz de estas canciones,
pero no hay improvisaciones extendidas o estrategias académicas
empleadas para enfriarlas. En todo caso, la alegría que la mayoría de
estos intérpretes sienten al interpretar este material los relaja
considerablemente.
