Branford Marsalis, Laura Karpman: Jazz for Hollywood [Mondo Jazz 281-3]

This time we are focusing on jazz-infused soundtracks that received nominations for Best Original Score in a Feature Film at the latest Academy Awards... because jazz does a great job a propelling a movie story forward. Kudos to Laura Karpman, the composer of the soundtrack for "American Fiction" and Branford Marsalis for the soundtrack of "Rustin", two scores that have a life of their own even without the images they were was meant to accompany.
