Jazz in Michael Caine/Demi Moore pic "FLAWLESS"



Does anyone know the jazz titles and artists performing on the film Flawless featuring Demi Moore and Michael Caine?

The only jazz track credited in the end titles is the intro piece Take Five by the Dave Brubeck Quartet.



Can anyone identify the jazz track and artist in the scene where Laura Quinn is at home in her apartment, and we see a shot of a Dekka record spinning on the turntable, while she notices that a diamond has come loose from her earring?



Also, I would like to know the jazz track and artist playing at the end of the final scene and through the end titles.

Thanks!

I've never watched the film. I'd take a guess at the question if I knew where to find a link to the scene.

I remember Charton Heston dropping a tone arm on "Round Midnight" in the "Omega Man".

I realize this is a very late response to a 7+ year old question but the same thing
was driving me crazy and I kept pausing the credits and finally managed to find
something that might be down the right avenue. I noticed in the credits that the
trumpet player for the studio recorded soundtrack was Henry Lowther. Henry
plays with the Harry Beckett band and much of the music in this youtube link
sounds like it could be similar or a spin off from the music score in the movie, at
least it is a starting point.

Here are the music credits from the movie

music recorded and mixed by - Nick Wollage
Piano - Gwylim Simcock, Steve Lodder, Stephen Warbeck
Guitar - John Parricelli
Drums - Martin France
Bass Guitar - Steve Watts, Tim Harries
Trumpet - Henry Lowther
Saxophone - Lain Bellamy

So I just did a youtube search on all these artists and came up with the Harry
Beckett stuff, which is very bop style jazz and some great stuff.

Hopefully this helps someone out finding the right stuff

@Musicchimp

Thank you so much. Been driving me crazy for years and still I'm looking for it.

I just used some desktop recording software to rip a version from the film, but i'd
love to know just what its called!

sorry for my writing in english but i'm italian. I also go crazy to find out the
title of the album Decca that runs on the turntable at Demi Moore's house. Is
it possible that nobody in the film's production reads this article?

I could be wrong but isnt the track
and artist in the closing scene of the
2007 movie Flawless "Winelight" by
Grover Washington, Jr?

Well 11 years after the original post I’ve also always loved the track
from the Decca record in her apartment. I think its Lain Ballamy on
tenor sax. He has a Youtube channel and website.

Hi, i know this is an old thread, however if you look at
the label of Decca disc in the turntable, it shows
"I'm sorry - Brenda Lee."
Funny!
