All That Jazz (The Original Soundtrack Collection)

1979 Bob Fosse 音乐剧电影原声。当年戛纳电影节上最佳影片金棕榈奖，奥斯卡最佳服装设计、最佳剪辑，最佳配乐、最佳艺术指导四项金像奖。 这部被称为导演Bob Fosse的半自传影片，其实也是福斯以歌舞的方式为自己谱写的一部艺术自传；影片主人公乔是百老汇的一位资深导演，兼任舞蹈设计，同时也涉足电影界，他在自己艺术的世界里天马行空，我行我素，具有超人的才华，但生活却使他颇感压力，艺术家固有的情感放纵，使他在前妻，女儿，女友以及多种诱惑下不能自拔，他的健康每况愈下，情感上的脆弱使他厌恶这个人世，当他的新片公映时，他在自己的歌舞声中，哼着《Bye Bye Love》去寻求“死亡天使”…… 本片虽然被称为鲍勃福斯的半自传影片，但影片也汇集了七十年代爵士乐之大成，影片的故事在鲍勃福斯以后的人生岁月里都变成了现实，单从故事而言可以说本片是一部自传，但从歌舞的角度而言，那些宏大而豪华的舞蹈场面都让人过目难忘，它将好莱坞的音乐歌舞片带到了一个新的境界，这些非传统意义上的歌舞甚至可以和费里尼在影片《八部半》中的电影语言相比美. by Ignacio Rodriguez This is a marvellous collector piece. Coming from a great movie, this could only be an espectacular Soundtrack. I've always felt attracted to the film for its visual stile (just like any other Fosse's movie, especially "Cabaret") and the sarcastic tone. A courious note about this film is that a few years after Bob Fosse realeased this sort of oracular-autobiography, the author died just like the movie character inspired in him. Some of the songs has a very 80's beat, which of course was en vogue when it was made. The album includes classic themes like "Concert in G" by Vivaldi, and also pop music classics like "On Broadway". The piece "Take off with us" is simply marvellous. But the best thing of this record os the ironization of the lyrics of themes like "Bye, bye love", "Some of this days", "Who's sorry now" and "After you're gone". This soundtrack is simply amazing.
