Music From The Movies

Frank Collett Trio

This album features Frank Collett in his first recording since “The Film Music of Bronislaw Kaper” which received unprecedented reviews. In this performance, he gives his own special treatment (with Tom Warrington and Joe La Barbera ) to fourteen tunes, all of which were written specifically for the films in which they appeared. Says Collett: “This album is definitely up to my Kaper standard.”

Review:

"In another delightful taste of the classic trio setup, producer Dick Bank reunites pianist Collett with Tom Warrington (bass) and Joe La Barbera (drums) for a trawl through Hollywood’s musical past. Much of the repertoire is familiar; Tinsel-town has generated its share of standards. But they’re refreshed by the vigorous, beautifully crafted workouts the trio give them, and there’s a real snap about the way they approached the least remembered pieces, such as A Gal in Calico, It’s a Most Unusual Day and Collett’s elegant thanks for the Memory. And he serves up three gorgeously delineated solo pieces in Laura, At Last and Tara’s Theme. The exhaustively researched booklet about the origins of each song, buttressed by Collett’s comments on the music, is a movie buff’s meat and drink."
