And good call on Spetches of Skain McC - that's (your) fellow Brit, Gil Evans. 

I thought Gil was Canadian. Oh well, same thing. wink

Listening to THE LAST RUN again, and I was reminded of this ol' thread of mine.

Some great suggestions made already that I haven't properly explored yet, but I'm always open to more!

You should check out THE BROTHERHOOD OF THE BELL, another Goldsmith score from that era.

It's darker and not as pop-sounding as THE LAST RUN, but it definitely has that baroque-jazz vibe.

Oh yes, I'm aware of that. The main theme definitely qualifies.

There is one particular "sound" I really love; what I call "baroque jazz melancholy". This is an almost classical tune with a jazz undercurrent or backbeat and with a minor-moded melody to go.

Examples include the "Main Title" from THE EIGER SANCTION or "Main Title" and "Rickard Escapes" from THE LAST RUN. If there's a harpschicord that goes with it, even better.

Do you know what I'm talking about? Any other examples of this?


I'm unfamiliar with these, so I had to link them.
