Lalo Schifrin is a true Renaissance man. As a pianist, composer and conductor, he is equally at home conducting a symphony orchestra, performing at an international jazz festival, scoring a film or television show, or creating works for the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra or the London Philharmonic and even The Sultan of Oman.

Aleph Records To Release The Soundtracks for Sudden Impact And SPOOKS, The Music From Bullitt to Appear In Hei$t

(March 31, 2008- Los Angeles, CA) – Aleph Records will release the soundtrack for Sudden Impact and SPOOKS on May 6.

Sudden Impact was the fourth film of the five film “Dirty Harry” series. Composer Lalo Schifrin returned to the series, after composing Dirty Harry and Magnum Force, but not the third film The Enforcer. Aleph Records has released the soundtracks for the first three films. The complete soundtrack to Sudden Impact makes its debut for the first time to CD. With only excerpts released on the first “Dirty Harry” LP, this is the complete score plus additional bonus tracks that have been remixed from the original multi-track masters.

In addition, on May 6, Aleph Records will release the soundtrack for SPOOKS via iTunes, a new military horror series from Devil’s Due Publishing. SPOOKS was created and co-written by Schifrin’s son Ryan. The comic is a hit and has sold out within its first week and all four issues will be turned into a graphic novel in July. The music, written by Lalo Schifrin and Andy Garfield, appears on the website for the comic (www.spooksthecomic.com). Lalo previously scored the film Abominable for Ryan Schifrin.

CODEMASTERS has licensed tracks from the film Bullitt, composed by Lalo Schifrin. HEI$T™ is an all-new job pullin’, bank robbin’ action-driving game set in a gritty San Francisco, circa 1969. HEI$T has gamers taking charge of a group of renegade criminals as they rob, steal and shoot their way throughout the city, all the while their sights set on the big score: taking the San Francisco Mint. The video game will be released in the summer of 2008.

Sudden Impact will be available in stores and via iTunes on May 6, 2008. SPOOKS will be available via iTunes on May 6.

Lalo Schifrin and Friends

It is as appropiate as it is welcome that this latest Aleph issue focuses on Schifrin the pianist as much as Schifrin the composer.

He is joined by James Morrison, James Moody, Dennis Budimir, Brian Bromberg, and Alex Acuña. Of the nine selections, six are Schifrin tunes: a testimony to the rich variety of this writer’s palette and range of mood.
