• The complete original soundtrack to Martin Ritt’s 1961 feature film ‘Paris Blues’, starring Paul Newman & Sidney Poitier. All of the music was composed by Duke Ellington & Billy Strayhorn, and Louis Armstrong was a featured star on two tracks. Ellington’s complete original soundtrack to Otto Preminger’s 1959 movie ‘Anatomy of a Murder’, has been added here as a bonus.

• Ellington had written the soundtrack for the short 1929 movie ‘Black & Tan Fantasy’ (which he starred in) and would continue making film contributions during the thirties, forties and fifties. However, he had to wait until 1959 before being able to compose a full motion picture soundtrack score. Otto Preminger called him to write the music to his thriller ‘Anatomy of a Murder’ (starring James Stewart as a jazz loving attorney).

• But both Ellington and Strayhorn felt their work on ‘Paris Blues’ was better. The film and soundtrack were well received and the score was nominated for an Oscar in 1961 for Best Scoring of a Musical Picture. It lost to West Side Story.

• In the movie, Paul Newman was a trombonist, (played off-screen by Billy Byers). Sidney Poitier played a tenor saxophonist (Guy Lafitte); and Serge Reggiani played a Django Reinhardt-like character (Jimmy Gourley). All incidental music is by the full all-star Ellington band.

• Total Time: 71:12 mins. - 29 tracks - includes a 12-page booklet.
