█ █ █ █
█ █ comments : The latter half of the Sixties was truly █ █
█ █ a time of great productivity for █ █
█ █ Schifrin. This 1967 Oscar nominated work █ █
█ █ was immediately preceded by the likes of █ █
█ █ The Cincinnati Kid and his Mission: █ █
█ █ Impossible TV theme, and then █ █
█ █ immediately followed by Bullitt. It says █ █
█ █ something about the experimental climate █ █
█ █ of filmmaking that he was able to make █ █
█ █ the impact he did at the time, but 35 █ █
█ █ years later the quality of the music █ █
█ █ still speaks for itself. █ █
█ █ In the film, Paul Newman is a convict █ █
█ █ working on a hard labour chain gang who █ █
█ █ has a seeming physical invulnerability █ █
█ █ and indomitability of spirit. There's █ █
█ █ both a Greek mythological and Biblical █ █
█ █ allegorical subtext going on in the █ █
█ █ script, which was great material for a █ █
█ █ composer to get stuck into. Schifrin's █ █
█ █ method of encompassing time, place, and █ █
█ █ character was a solid backbone of █ █
█ █ orchestral drama supporting the soothing █ █
█ █ qualities of blue grass. In the Sixties █ █
█ █ this was a surprise to audience's ears █ █
█ █ to say the least. Even if you can't █ █
█ █ stretch your mind back to imagining how █ █
█ █ a new cinematic sound might have made an █ █
█ █ impact, once again the quality of the █ █
█ █ music constantly keeps you enthusiastic. █ █
█ █ Featured throughout are the talents of █ █
█ █ Ray Brown on bass, Howard Roberts and █ █
█ █ Tommy Tedasco on guitars, and Tom Morgan █ █
█ █ on harmonica. It's their contributions █ █
█ █ that make the listening experience so █ █
█ █ upbeat. After the calmly lulling "Main █ █
█ █ Title", we're straight into the first █ █
█ █ fantastically excitable use of harmonica █ █
█ █ and Schifrin's bold sense of rhythm in █ █
█ █ "Tar Sequence" (which actually features █ █
█ █ a passage that sounds like the Sesame █ █
█ █ Street Newsflash - I couldn't resist █ █
█ █ mentioning!) "The Chase" is an example █ █
█ █ of the score's hard-hitting dramatic █ █
█ █ chops underpinned by harmonica and █ █
█ █ soothing guitar strums. The contrast is █ █
█ █ something like "Egg Eating Contest" █ █
█ █ which is great high-spirited fun. █ █
█ █ Schifrin's trademark jazziness pervades █ █
█ █ either mood, often sitting underneath █ █
█ █ the harmonica. At the centre of the █ █
█ █ album, the breeziest of such moments is █ █
█ █ "Ballad of Cool Hand Luke". █ █
█ █ Rounding out the album is a sourced █ █
█ █ piece called "Plastic Jesus" by Ed Rush █ █
█ █ and George Cromarty, which fits █ █
█ █ seamlessly into the whole. Then, after █ █
█ █ the dramatic finale to the "End Title" █ █
█ █ is a 7 minute suite of "Symphonic █ █
█ █ Sketches of Cool Hand Luke", which is a █ █
█ █ very interesting collection on the █ █
█ █ principal themes in development. Finally █ █
█ █ comes "Down Here On The Ground █ █
█ █ (Symphonic Version)". There's no song of █ █
█ █ the theme within the film, but this came █ █
█ █ later with lyrics by Gale Garnett (not █ █
█ █ featured here). █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ It's fantastic to hear this music so █ █
█ █ bright and flawless, and is yet another █ █
█ █ superb release from the composer's own █ █
█ █ label which might otherwise remain █ █
█ █ forever unavailable. █ █
█ █ --------------------------------------- █ █
█ █ note: █ █
█ █ Cool Hand Luke (1967) gathered an █ █
█ █ Academy Award for George Kennedy and █ █
█ █ four Academy Award nominations - █ █
█ █ including one for its star Paul Newman █ █
█ █ and for this brilliant jazz-based score █ █
█ █ by Lalo Schifrin. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ The Main Title theme that was developed █ █
█ █ into the song, 'Down Here on the Ground' █ █
█ █ (not used in the film but fully █ █
█ █ developed in the cue 'Ballad of Cool █ █
█ █ Hand Luke') is one of those █ █
█ █ unforgettable melodies that spins around █ █
█ █ in your head for days. It perfectly █ █
█ █ captures the sweetness and truthfulness █ █
█ █ and vulnerability of Luke. The whole █ █
█ █ score pleases - potently mixing the █ █
█ █ dramatic and the comic (listen to the █ █
█ █ risibly evocative 'Egg-eating Contest' █ █
█ █ for instance.) Another stand-out cue is █ █
█ █ Tar Sequence'. This underscored the most █ █
█ █ difficult task the convict chain gang █ █
█ █ had to perform. With his sense of fun, █ █
█ █ Luke managed to lighten their load and █ █
█ █ put a smile on their faces when their █ █
█ █ work was done. Schifrin brilliantly █ █
█ █ captures the essence and meaning of this █ █
█ █ moment. Rounding off the 20 cues, are █ █
█ █ two very satisfying and substantial █ █
█ █ tracks: 'Symphonic Sketches of Cool Hand █ █
█ █ Luke' and 'Down Here on the Ground █ █
█ █ (Symphonic Version)' █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ Lalo Schifrin writing in the sleeve █ █
█ █ notes recalls, "The idea of mixing "blue █ █
█ █ grass" and symphonic music in a graceful █ █
█ █ way was a challenge but also an █ █
█ █ opportunity for a wonderful artistic █ █
█ █ experience. I should mention some of the █ █
█ █ great musicians who contributed to █ █
█ █ enhance the different scenes: Ray Brown █ █
█ █ on bass, the late Howard Roberts and █ █
█ █ Tommy Tedesco on guitars, and Tommy █ █
█ █ Tedesco on harmonica. Cool Hand Luke is █ █
█ █ one of the most satisfying of my worksà" █ █
