The Jazz from U.N.C.L.E. Live in Concert
Cool, hip and unique. This was "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." and especially its music!
The Jazz from U.N.C.L.E. Live in Concert album is the brainchild of producers Robert Short and Jon Burlingame. Recorded live at "The Golden Anniversary Affair," the fiftieth year celebration of the "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." TV series, it consists of 14 tracks performed from the original sheet music used on the TV series and interpreted by "The Summit Six Sextet," a band of top industry pros brought together to create this once in a life time performance. Each track was carefully selected to capture the essence of the series and showcase the talents of the series most iconic composers Jerry Goldsmith, Lalo Schifrin, Gerald Fried and Robert Drasnin.
"Without a doubt the performance of the sextet combo on Saturday evening was the prefect ending. The U.N.C.L.E. theme music is certainly well known, but I never fully appreciated the more subtle qualities of the series' scores until I heard them performed live and on their own. It was clear to me that many of the incidental and background music cues, often dismissed as undeserving of serious attention, can easily stand on their own merits. I suspect that Jon Burlingame is largely responsible for this. The musicians were exceptional".
