This is an interesting record. I have no idea what the movie would be about based on the cover and music. There's a guy getting grabbed by a cop, a guy sitting eating a 3 foot long sandwich in a city, the same guy talking to a woman in a bikini, and the music is based in a harmonica blues style. My only guess is something to do with Chicago?? Probably a comedy.
In the middle of the A side there is a real ripper of a track called Little Shakie Girl with some top notch pocket playing and a funky jazz flute solo. The B side has The Loop, a great bop jazz track. There are two jazz guitars, so I'm guessing that they cut this when Barney Kessel was over playing with Pes. Although Kessel doesn't get credited I think it is him. I should mention, Pes is credited on all tracks with Trovaioli although only Trovaiolis name is on the front cover. The B side has a few quality blues and western instrumentals. There are also three different versions of the main theme song Somewhere God Is Crying which grows on you because it's a pretty good arrangement.
