Release.Info :
The plot line of studious teenager Jenny, compelled to discover the larger
picture of life through worldly suitor Peter circa 1961, only gets the ball
rolling for the music in the soundtrack of the film An Education. Director Lone
Scherfig and screenplay author Nick Hornby decided to base the backing music on
jazz instead of R&B or the burgeoning rock & roll scene. Familiar hit songs of
the era, Parisian waltzes (Jenny is fond of French everything, and the stately,
romantic music of Edward Elgar), and groove-based jazz make up most of the music
on this recording work well in their own right. While the connecting original
themes are serene, spacy, and not just a little atmospheric, and "Jenny's Theme"
is a beautiful piano epilogue done by music director Paul Englishby, the rest of
the music reflects the eraås seeming innocence. It's great for baby boomers, and
boomers at heart, to hear great old hits like Brenda Lee's classic "Sweet
Nothin's," the calypso blues "Tell the Truth" by Ray Charles, and Mel TormΘ's
rockin' take of Bob Dorough's "Comin' Home Baby." Instrumentals like the great
piano trio version of "Since I Fell for You" by Vince Guaraldi, the memorable
boogaloo by Floyd Cramer "On the Rebound," and the surfer dude anthem by the
Hunters "Teen Scene" might conjure old sentiments, as non-vocal tracks did make
the hit parade in the day. Then there's the Percy Faith opus "Theme from 'A
Summer Place'," which holds equal romantic charm and sappiness. The updated
songs include two by the wonderful English singer Beth Rowley, who has
legitimate jazz flowing in her veins. She does faithful versions of the
slow-surrender love song "You Got Me Wrapped Around Your Little Finger," and the
great tune of affirmation "A Sunday Kind of Love." For many, the highlights of
the soundtrack will be Duffy's retro take on "Smoke Without Fire," as she also
plays a bit part in the movie as a lounge singer, and the wonderful American
vocalist Melody Gardot singing "Your Heart Is as Black as Night" with the savvy
of a scorned woman twice her age. Jenny is particularly fond of Juliette GrΘco,
who sings two French torch songs on the soundtrack, and Madeleine Peyroux does
her best contemporary Billie Holiday impression during "J'ai Deux Amours."
