Review: Not all Woody Allen’s movies are good, but
they always have great music and this CAFÉ SOCIETY is no exception.
This time around, almost all
the songs are by Rodgers & Hart, one of my favorite musical teams. Besides
the usual old recordings, there are new jazzy ones by Vince Giordano & The
Nighthawks, that are perfect to create a nostalgic mood that I love; Kate Edmonson
join this guys for a nice rendition of “Mountain Greenery”.
It’s always a pleasure to
listen to the likes of Rodgers & Hart’s “The Lady is a Tramp”, “I Didn’t
Know What Time It Was”, “This Can’t Be Love”, “Manhattan” or “There’s a Small
Hotel”. And there’s also other terrific songs like “Pick Yourself Up” by Jerome
Kern & Dorothy Fields, “I Only Have Eyes for You” by Harry Warren & Al
Dubin or “Zing! Went the Strings of My Heart” by James F. Hanley.
So lovers of great music will
surely enjoy this new soundtrack, I sure do! There’s no doubt, he may fail on
some of his movies, but Woody Allen’s music taste is irreprehensible!
