Leith Stevens • Private Hell 36

 

Review from AllMusic (by Scott Yanow):
Stevens utilized trumpeter Shorty Rogers and an all-star group of West Coast jazz musicians for atmospheric music in the Ida Lupino film Private Hell 36, which also uses Rogers and the West Coast all-stars. Lupino herself takes the vocal on "Didn't You Know." Stevens' use of progressive jazz created an innovation in film-music history and Stevens was very particular about choosing the right jazz musicians to work on his scores. For these movies he used the interpretative skill of the outstanding young trumpeter and conductor Shorty Rogers. Shorty's collaboration with Stevens in scoring films produced some of the most exciting background music of the time. While soundtracks are generally not complete when heard apart from the film, this historic project works pretty well and will be enjoyed by fans of 1950s West Coast jazz.

Reseña de AllMusic (por Scott Yanow):
Stevens utilizó al trompetista Shorty Rogers y un grupo estelar de músicos de jazz de la Costa Oeste para música atmosférica en la película de Ida Lupino Private Hell 36, que también usa a Rogers y las estrellas de la Costa Oeste. La propia Lupino toma la vocal en "Didn't You Know." El uso de jazz progresivo por parte de Stevens creó una innovación en la historia de la música cinematográfica y Stevens era muy particular al elegir a los músicos de jazz adecuados para trabajar en sus partituras. Para estas películas utilizó la habilidad interpretativa del destacado joven trompetista y director Shorty Rogers. La colaboración de Shorty con Stevens en la composición de películas produjo parte de la música de fondo más emocionante de la época. Aunque las bandas sonoras generalmente no están completas cuando se escuchan aparte de la película, este proyecto histórico funciona bastante bien y será disfrutado por los fanáticos del jazz de la Costa Oeste de los años 50.
