"Jeff Dana sets the mood & keeps it going forward"

"Watch this composer with keen interest, he's on his way to bigger and better things...his score gives the film a shot in the arm...the main theme sets the wheels in motion, one cue after another is simply wonderful, counterpoints and melodious brass take charge.Let's looks at the stand outs ~ "HAWK"..."VICTORY & DEFEAT"..."THE SCARF", cues appear right in a row, giving the film substance...but my highlight pick is "TO TAKE FLIGHT", the closing track is almost four minutes in length, brings the entire film together through music...wonderful arrangments...looking forward to Dana's next project!Total Time: 43:26 on 15 Tracks ~ Varese Sarabande 302-066-244-2 ~ (2001)"

Elizabethan Noir

"I found Jeff Danna's lush score both beautiful and disturbing,
like the classic dames of 40's noir film. Shiny and sleek as a
diamond, but with a fracture running through its dark and wounded
heart. Moorish filagrees accent a full-bodied string score that
could easily have accompanied Ingrid Bergman down a twisted
alley, and the big hall sound keeps the pavement wet throughout.
Like a Globe Theater production of "The Big Sleep"."
