Mundell Lowe - Satan in High Heels / Lost in Sound '2012

Tracks list

Mundell Lowe - Satan in High Heels (1961)
Mundell Lowe's score for the exploitation flick Satan in High Heels is an
immensely enjoyable collection of exaggeratedly cinematic jazz. Lowe runs
through all sorts of styles, from swinging big band to cool jazz, from laid-back
hard-bop to driving bop. He pulls it off because his big band is comprised of
musicians as skilled as Oliver Nelson, Al Cohn, Phil Woods, Urbie Green, Joe
Newman and Clark Terry. They help give the music the extra kick it needs, and
Satan in High Heels winds up as a terrific set of humorous and sleazy, but
well-played, mainstream jazz.

Yusef Lateef - Lost in Sound (1961)
Despite its questionable origins, Lost in Sound is an enjoyable early '60s
session from Yusef Lateef that captures the multi-instrumentalist as he was
beginning to break free from hard-bop and explore more adventurous avenues. It's
not nearly as focused or strong as the major-label sessions he led during the
early '80s, but dedicated collectors will find much to treasure and explore
here.
