Notes
The world CD premiere of the original soundtrack from the Joseph C. Hanwright drama Uncle Joe Shannon about a down-on-his-luck trumpet player, starring Burt Young (who also scripted), Doug McKeon and Madge Sinclair.
Bill Conti engages the incredible artistry of Maynard Ferguson, then writes a flamboyant score for trumpet and orchestra using a modern jazz vernacular. Soaring themes give the legendary trumpeter ample room to display his 'chops' in extreme high register.
Conti produces a strong LP in 1978 and emphasizes lengthy tracks for maximum listening pleasure. Intrada premieres the 1978 album on CD from the original masters vaulted at MGM. Bill Conti conducts.
Intrada Special Collection release limited to 1000 copies!
