Film music soundtracks have established themselves over the years as major providers of popular tunes. But jazz is quite different, because it has always had an appetite for transforming standards into something of its own. The Swingin’ Affair quartet brings new colours to the famous melodies heard in films, adding unrivalled freshness with some sumptuous arrangements that draw on different palettes, including swing, cool jazz and bossa nova… Imagine Darth Vader playing in the Cotton Club with Duke Ellington and his Orchestra! The Swingin’ Affair quartet give a marvellous demonstration of how fertile our music heritage can be when it comes to being creative.
