Description:

The largest and most ambitious anthology box ever on the living legend, featuring jazz and pop albums and iconic film and television music by the Argentine composer/arranger/pianist/conductor. This 16-CD box set in artbook format, including rare and previously unreleased material, spans from 1955 to 2017, from the Verve era to "Bullitt," from his intense collaborations with Jimmy Smith and Stan Getz to the "Dirty Harry" series and "Enter the Dragon" to "Enter the Dragon," it will serve as a definitive 60-year overview. The guest list upon arrival includes Barbra Streisand, Ray Charles, Jeff Goldblum, Scott Walker, Shirley Bassey, Kyle Eastwood... and Salaam Remi to name a few. Balancing jazz, South American rhythms, rock and roll, pop, and concert music, one can measure how revolutionary this modern alchemist has been in his 18 hours of music.Lalo Schifrin's singularity lies in his threefold culture: an Argentine who, after an essential sojourn in France, was drawn like a magnet to the promised land of Hollywood. Clearly, Shiffrin's territory has as much to do with geography as it does with music. There is Piazzolla, there is Steve McQueen-related, there is "Mission: Impossible" and Dizzy Gillespie involved, and that is Lalo Schifrin.
