Lalo Schifrin The Sound Of Lalo Schifrin 16 CD Box Set

Lalo Schifrin The Sound Of Lalo Schifrin 16 CD Box Set:

Composer and pianist Lalo Schifrin owes his singularity to his triple culture, that of an Argentinean drawn like a magnet to the promised land of Hollywood after an essential sojourn in France. Clearly, Schifrin's territories have as much to do with geography as they do with music. Mention Piazzolla to him and he'll tell you about Steve McQueen. Get him onto the subject of Mission: Impossible and he can talk to you for hours about Dizzy Gillespie. That is Lalo Schifrin for you: plural in form and multicultural, a destroyer of barriers.
This Fall, Universal Music France is proud to present the largest, the most ambitious anthology ever produced on a living legend, bringing together his jazz and pop albums, his iconic film and television scores. Including rare and previously unreleased recordings, this 16 CD box set, in art-book format, works as an overview of 60 decisive decades, from 1955 to 2017, from the Verve years to Bullitt, from the intense collaborations with Jimmy Smith or Stan Getz to the Dirty Harry series or Enter the Dragon. On arrival, the guest list includes Barbra Streisand, Ray Charles, Jeff Goldblum, Scott Walker, Shirley Bassey, Kyle Eastwood... and Salaam Remi.
The Sound of Lalo Schifrin box set is the quintessence of a genius. Its 18 hours of music allow you to measure just how much of a revolutionary this modern-day alchemist has been in his work, in balance between jazz, South-American rhythms, rock'n roll, pop and concert music.
