,
, etc.),
also includes some noirish, big band numbers, like
and the main title. Along with these up-tempo songs, he balances out the mostly light material with the solidly swinging mambos

(co-written by frequent partner
and something of a minor vocal hit upon its release). The program's highlights, though, come from the kind of sublime (some might say cheesy) ballads he usually included on his soundtracks; the after-hours jazz tune
stands out in particular, with its tasteful string arrangement and glowing trumpet solo. This is a great title for fans of

soundtracks. ~ Stephen Cook
