Only this time around the music sounds clearer than ever before thanks to digital remastering and clever musical arrangements ...

Rating: - Tales Of The Jazz Age Francis Ford Coppola's $47 million crime drama was a failure at the box office, but it did produce this outstanding soundtrack from John Barry. Barry - a former jazz artist turned movie scorer - captures the essence of the 1920s-1930s music scene in The Cotton Club through adapting standards from legends like Duke Ellington & Cab Calloway and using original songs. Several of the song titles also capture the overt racism of the times. It must be remembered that The Cotton ...
