Martin Scorsese的戛纳金棕榈奖力作，音乐是电影配乐大师Bernard Herrmann的晚年传奇的绝作，70年代的纽约被他刻画的令人心碎凄厉而又交织了纸醉金迷。
这部电影的成功有一多半要归功于这个配乐，音乐就像是流动在德·尼罗、纽约底层、朱迪·福斯特、出租车、马丁·斯科赛斯、甚至观众之间的一种介质，没有那忧郁的萨克斯的引领，我们和电影之间就缺少了一种感性的共鸣，而单独听配乐，仿佛置身于黑夜中的70年代，充满了未知与渴望的冲突。只是其中，总有一丝忧虑伤穿愁肠。
关于Bernard Herrmann
1911年6月29日出生于纽约市。他的父母很鼓励他在艺术方面的兴趣 。Herrmann 1927年时在 DeWitt Clinton中学开始接受正规的音乐教育。在纽约大学(NYU)时和 Philip James 学习作曲，和Albert Stoessel学习指挥，并且在茱利亚学院待过两年，但之后又回到NYU练习进阶作曲及管弦编制。年轻时他接触过Copland(柯普兰)、 Gershwin和Elgar的音乐 ，但影响其风格更甚者为华格纳、马勒、德步西以及拉威尔。
1937年赫曼进入CBS Radio，在教育部门工作；但其最大的兴趣仍在于指挥，随后即转任CBS交响乐团指挥，在这期间也认识了导演Orson Welles。随Welles的Mercury Theatre Playhouse group(水晶广播剧院)转移到好莱乌后，Herrmann写了清唱剧(cantata)“Moby Dick(1938)”以及歌剧“咆哮山庄”。1941年Orson请他为大国民(Citizen Kane)谱写配乐，从此之后声名大噪。
当时二十世纪福斯的录音室音乐指导Alfred Newman(阿佛列德纽曼，汤玛斯纽曼的父亲)僱用他为 Jane Eyre(1943)、Hangover Square(1945)、Anna and the King of Siam(1946)、The Ghost and Mrs.Muir(1947)、The Day the Earth Stood Still(1951)等电影配乐。
五零年代赫曼结识了惊悚电影大师 Hitchcock(希区考克)，这对黄金组合共同创作出许多着名的作品，包括：The Trouble with Harry(1955)、The Man Who Knew Too Much(1956)、Vertigo(1958)、North by Northwest(1959)、Psycho(1960)、Marnie(1964)等等。直到1966年，在他们最后一次合作的作品“Torn Curtain”中，因为彼此的看法及意见分歧而使他们的合作生涯就这样结束，而他的音乐也被弃置不用，改由John Addison出任。尽管如此，这对搭当仍在影迷和乐迷心目中，留下不可磨灭的地位；这样的结合也成为日后的经典示范。
赫曼的出众才能也为之带来其他的合作对象，像是一些新一代的导演包括François Truffaut, Brian DePalma, Larry Cohen 和 Martin Scorsese。
1975年他来到了加州录制“Taxi Driver 计程车司机”的配乐，头一天演奏家们都前来和赫曼打声招呼，因为这是他多年以来第一次回到这里。12月23日，终于完成了每一个音符的录音，回到饭店和他妻子共进晚餐后，在睡眠中长逝。

人戏两忘，入戏太深，当一个艺人如是行事，真不知是件好事还是悲剧，张国荣的纵身一跃，让无数人心颤，而Chet Baker1988年从荷兰阿姆斯特丹一家酒店窗台上坠落的那一刻，也是无数爵士乐迷同样感伤的瞬间。
Baker沙哑磁性的嗓音，在50年代完全掩盖了他出众的小号演奏，那些冷漠，臃懒，漫不经心的歌声，却打动了千万歌迷的心，加上酷似叛逆影星詹姆斯·迪恩的脸庞，Baker成为了公众喜爱的超级偶像，这个白人小伙，他的知名曲《My Funny Valentine》，是哪个时代竟相传唱的流行金曲。
可是Baker并不幸福，他总是皱着眉头，偶像的孤独的滋味他比别人要有更深的体会，而个性中的孤傲，迷惘，最终让他不得不在吸毒中找到片刻的自在和超脱，可惜这短暂的自在和超脱，换来的是终身的毒瘾与自毁。
专辑的20首歌曲，选自Baker演唱事业黄金时代，专辑有一个《让我们迷失》，真的，在这些冷冷的懒懒的歌声背后，是一颗找不到归宿的寂寞心灵。

John William Coltrane was an American jazz saxophonist and composer. Working in the bebop and hard bop idioms early in his career, Coltrane helped pioneer the use of modes and was at the forefront of free jazz.

Bitches Brew is a studio double album by jazz musician Miles Davis, released in June of 1970 on Columbia Records.[1] Recording sessions took place at Columbia's 30th Street Studio over the course of three days in August of 1969. The album continued Davis' experimentation of electric instruments previously featured on his critically acclaimed In a Silent Way album. With the use of these instruments, such as the electric piano and guitar, Davis rejected traditional jazz rhythms in favor of a looser, rock-influenced improvisational style.
Often cited as one of Davis' best-selling albums and masterpieces, Bitches Brew marked a turning point in modern jazz. Upon release, it received mixed criticism from fans and critics, alike, due to the album's unconventional style and revolutionary sound. Later on, Bitches Brew gained recognition as one of jazz's greatest albums and a progenitor of the jazz rock genre, as well as a major influence on rock and funk musicians.[2] In 1998, Columbia Records released The Complete Bitches Brew Sessions, a four-disc box set that included the original album as well as ensuing studio sessions through February 1970.
