There is one particular “sound” I really love; what I call “baroque jazz melancholy”. This is an almost classical tune with a jazz undercurrent or backbeat and with a minor-moded melody to go.

Examples include the “Main Title” from THE EIGER SANCTION or “Main Title” and “Rickard Escapes” from THE LAST RUN. If there’s a harpschicord that goes with it, even better.

Do you know what I’m talking about? Any other examples of this?

…and how utterly bizarre that I would pose that question at the EXACT MOMENT that I came to Stelvio Cipriani’s FEMINA RIDENS score in my collection walkthrough (a score that has been previously covered in the “Excellent Erotica Earworms” thread) and encounter a track like this, which fits the criteria neatly:

I don’t think either Morricone’s Brubeckian gem “Blue-Eyed Bandit” or any of the scores of tragic Polish maestro Krzysztof Komeda have been mentioned yet. Both are highly recommended.
