INSENSATEZ (+2 BONUS TRACKS) (LIMITED EDITION)

The complete album + 2 bonus tracks - limited edition pressing on 180g vinyl. Best known for his film and TV scores (Dirty Harry, Enter The Dragon, Mission Impossible, The Eagle Has Landed, to name just a few) Lalo Schifrin (1932-2025) began as a jazz pianist who worked with some of the most important musicians of his day. The Insensatez session was cut during Schifrins involvement in Dizzy Gillespies band, which explains the participation of musicians from that aggregation. First issued as Piano, Strings & Bossa Nova in 1962 (produced by Creed Taylor), this album was reissued with one less title, as Insensatez on Verve in 1969. Featuring 12 Brazilianized themes and four Lalo Schifrin originals - The Wave, Rio After Dark, and Silvia from Schifrins movie score El Jefe, and Lalos Bossa Nova written for Quincy Jones 1962 album Big Band Bossa Nova. Insensatez offers a rare insight to Schifrins superb musicianship, not only as a composer, but also as a pianist.
