ELMER BERNSTEIN
Music For Films By Charles & Ray Eames
   AMB 2001  19.99
  -Toccata for Toy Trains (13:31)/Six Pieces for Polavision
    (15:30)/House: After Five Years Of Living (11:17)/
    Westinghouse In Alphabetical Order (12:16)-
Four documentary scores highlight new label by Bernstein.  Each
showcases energetic, youthful approach to Americana music.  All are
original soundtrack recordings.  Scored for chamber orchestra, they are
by turns: tuneful, robust, florid, melancholy and spirited.  An absolute

winner.

FRANCESCO DE MASI
7 Winchester Per Un Massacro   CDST 329 (Italy) 20.99
  -Also: Killer Adios (Claudio Tallino)-
(72:20)  Two strong Italian western scores.  "Killer Adios" is a
melodic, sometimes Spanish-flavored score.  Frequent solos for
harmonica, trumpet, guitar.  Very rich main theme.  "7 Winchester Per Un

Massacro" is one of De Masi's finest scores.  Dramatic, expressive, with

a lot of warm harmonica.  Has 3 minutes of previously unreleased music.
Solos for trumpet with orchestra are highlights.

BASIL POLEDOURIS
Kimberly   Varese 66080   15.99
(32:03)  Melodic, upbeat orchestral score for comedy/drama.  Zesty main
theme, exciting boat race music.  Pretty strong album.

BASIL POLEDOURIS / ZOE POLEDOURIS
Cecil B. Demented   RCA 63722 (2 score cuts) 15.99
(31:05)  5 minutes of rhythmic/electronic score plus noisy vocals.
Pretty slim pickings here.  Sorry, Basil.

VARIOUS COLLECTIONS
Creature From The Black Lagoon (and other jungle pictures)
   MMM 1952   16.99
   (Cond Masatoshi Mitsumoto) -Creature From The Black
   Lagoon (35:34 Stein, Mancini, Salter, etc)/The Alligator
   People (16:16 Irving Gertz)/The MGM Tarzan Films
   (5:07 Stothart, Snell, Amfitheatrof, etc)-
(Total Time 64:28)  Masatoshi Mitsumoto conducts Radio Symphony
Orchestra of Slovakia.  5-minute suite from early MGM Tarzan movies
(Herbert Stothart, Daniel Amfitheatrof, etc) illuminates familiar Tarzan

cues.  35-minute suite from Creature examines in detail music by Henry
Mancini, Hans Salter and Herman Stein.  Mancini stuff a highlight.
16-minute suite from Alligator People is harsher, tense.  Well-recorded
album, with long, long, long liner notes.

JOHN WILLIAMS
A Guide For The Married Man   FSM   24.99
(73:23)  Ever wondered where music for C-3PO, sillier parts of 1941,
Indy's "Basket Game" and similar stuff came from?  Wonder no more.
Splendid world premier spotlights up-and-coming "kid" Johnny Williams in

1967.  Full orchestra, wacky chorus, wild guitars.  Terrific fun.

FILM SCORE MONTHLY Vol 5 #5 (June 00)  4.95
  -10th Anniversary Issue/Goldsmith buyer's guide(1955-1966)/
    James Newton Howard (Dinosaur)/Jeff Bond on Jaws/etc-
