Peter Calandra's Jellysmoke/Unknown Soldier
10-Apr-2008 - MovieScore Media has released the scores for Jellysmokeand for Unknown Soldier.Peter Calandra was the first composer of the premiere MovieScore Media release: Unknown Soldier. Now another infectious jazz score by this talented pianist and composer is presented: Jellysmoke, written for the award-winning 2005 drama directed by Mark Banning. Scored for a combo featuring piano, bass, drums, saxophone and trumpet, occasionally supported by a string section and electronics, this is a score that is rooted in restrained and thoughtful melancholy but also offers many other moods as well. Together with Unknown Soldier, Jellysmoke firmly establishes Peter Calandra as a major jazz voice in film scoring, right up there with the best in the genre: Terence Blanchard, Mark Isham and Dave Grusin.
