This crime jazz collection digs deeper than many others in the marketplace and unearths a clutch of wonderful gems. My friends at The Crime Lounge will no doubt be familiar with many of these performances but for the casual music fan much of this will be new territory. Aside from the omnipresent "Peter Gunn" there are delights to be found in "The Wild One", "Cool", "77 Sunset Strip Cha Cha" and "M Squad Theme" (parodied in the Naked Gun movies).

All the songs stay true to the crime jazz M.O with much blasting of horns and pounding of drums. There is the occasional subtle number for when the detective goes on a stakeout or hooks up with a seductive dame. It's a good late night record, maybe with a scotch in one hand and your mouse in the other? Enjoy.
