HARPER (SEALED)

Factory Sealed cd. Released in 2018 by Intrada. Contains the original LP program in a superb quality as always with the label. Johnny Mandel was perhaps the most perfect decision for the score of this movie with Paul Newman as a cool private eye, loosely based on the book "MOVING TARGET". Especially the opening music phrase in the main title theme, with this dissonant chord that leads to the main rhythmic motive, was used one year later (1967) by Quincy Jones as the opening music phrase of his main theme for the classic IN COLD BLOOD. A superb retro cinematic jazz score that is a classic. Sold out and increasingly hard to find.
