With four Grammy Awards, a Cable ACE Award, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, it's mind boggling to think that the legendary Lalo Schifrin is still without an Oscar, despite being nominated six times. The 80-year-old hasn't slowed down for a moment, with a catalog so vast that there is plenty for the devoted cinephile to explore and discover. And a holiday season treat is just around the corner.
Aleph Records has put together a 4 CD box set that covers Schifrin's entire career, putting together a tracklist of selected film work as well as various jazz and classical pieces. Of note to film buffs will be prevoiusly unreleased pieces from Schifrin's work on the Don Siegel films "Charley Varrick" (an undersung little '70s gem), "The Beguiled" and "Coogan's Bluff" in addition to tracks from George C. Scott's "Rage" and John Sturges' "Joe Kidd." Of course, pieces from his more remembered scores in pictures like "Enter the Dragon," "Dirty Harry," "Cool Hand Luke," "Kelly's Heroes" and more will featured as well.
All told, for soundtrack lovers, it's the stuff of dreams. Lalo Schifrin: My Life in Music will hit stores on November 13th. Full tracklist below.
