Lalo Schifrin - The Bossa Nova And Latin Recordings Vol 2 '2009; 2019

Tracks list

Forever to be remembered as the composer of the catchy 5/4 theme for the TV
series Mission: Impossible, the very definition of jazzy intrigue, Lalo Schifrin
actually established himself early on as a versatile, well-grounded composer and
pianist adept at bebop, Latin sounds, and straight classical composition. He has
written several concert works, but the bulk of his effort accompanies television
shows and movies.

Schifrins first teacher was his father, the concertmaster of the Teatro Colón
orchestra in Buenos Aires. As a teenager, he studied piano with the former head
of the Kiev Conservatory, Andreas Karalis, and harmony with composer Juan-Carlos
Paz. In 1950, he studied with the outsider Charles Koechlin and the innovator
Olivier Messiaen, both known for an almost cinematic approach to phrasing and
instrumental color, after winning a scholarship to the Paris Conservatory.
Schifrin would study during the week, but play jazz on the weekends in clubs,
even representing Argentina at the 1955 International Jazz Festival in Paris.
Back in his homeland, he started his own Basie-style jazz band, the first of its
kind in Argentina and worked as a pianist and arranger.

Schifrin moved to New York in 1958, playing jazz piano, including a 1960 - 1962
stint with Dizzy Gillespies quintet, and writing for Gillespie such
Latin-flavored pieces as Manteca and Con Alma. In 1962, he turned his attention
more to composing, initially in a jazz-classical fusion style in such works as
the ballet Jazz Faust (1963) and Jazz Suite on the Mass Texts (1965). He
relocated to Hollywood in 1964 and soon found a niche composing for the small
and large screen. In addition to Mission: Impossible, some of Schifrins early
projects are no less impressive. Cool Hand Luke, Bullitt, Hell in the Pacific,
and Dirty Harry are among the better films employing his services. After 1973,
his cinematic output began to taper off and in the 1980s and 90s, Schifrin was
stuck with less prestigious movies (Rollercoaster, The Beverly Hillbillies, Rush
Hour), but he proved to be ever-adaptable, employing not only Latin jazz, but
funk, disco, serialism, and aleatorics.

Schifrins most important works for the concert hall, aside from the 1967
oratorio The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich (incorporating a recording of a
Hitler speech), are concertos and concertante pieces: one for guitar, two for
piano, one for violin and cello, and several others. He taught composition at
U.C.L.A. 1968 - 1971, and although hed written many chamber and instrumental
pieces in the 60s and early 70s, he didnt begin to focus on orchestral music
until the 1980s and 90s. He arranged much of the music for the first three of
the Three Tenors concerts. His latest projects are the Jazz Meets the Symphony
series of recordings and re-recording his film music for his Aleph Records
company.
