Synopsis

Product Description

The Wild One, starring Marlon Brando, was perhaps the most famous movie of the fifties, and it said so much about the teenage rebellion of the time, and said it first. The soundtrack predated rock 'n roll, featuring instead 4 numbers by noted jazz trumpeter Shorty Rogers & a fabulously atmospheric score by Leith Stevens. Much of this soundtrack was previously released in separate pieces on different albums, but this CD brings it all together for the first time. Features Jimmy Giuffre, Bud Shank, Russ Freeman, Bill Holman & Shelly Manne. CD Digipak with 52-page booklet.

CD Reviews

My very first record at age 14 and became my jazz standard

edward coste | Framingham, ma United States | 12/10/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"After seeing this movie with my buddys, we all put balloons on
for our bicycle spokes and became the RRBC(Red Rebels Bicycle Club),named of course after Brando's BRMC.
When the 10' vinal came out (had Roger Short and Manny Shell
listed as two the arists on the back), I bought it on the spot and listened to it over and over well into my adult life. I am age 63 now and still I listen to this CD in my car often. This jazz is part of what makes me who I am ...to my very core. I have also purchased alot of Shorty Rogers and other bebop and West Pacific jazz of the 50's and love it all almost as much. But THIS music is most assuredly my standard for really good listening jazz."

The Wild One not so wild

Paul E. Collier | silverthorne, colorado | 07/28/2005

(3 out of 5 stars)

"I was electrified by Leith Stevens' superb score for this 50's youth-in-rebellion classic. Unfortunately, release recordings for film scores don't always measure up to the scores actually featured in the film--even under the composer's direction. The selections on this album simply lack the wonderful anarchic energy and pizazz with which the movie itself rocked. I was also disappointed that some parts of the score, such as the meloncholy finale, were not even represented here. If you haven't seen the film, you may still enjoy this recording."
