What You Will Hear: Jazz (of all kinds), klezmer clarinet, accordion, some hip drum kit, and eastern European influences. A very wide range of sounds.
Standout Tracks: The Cobbler Main Title, Magical Stitcher, Test Drive, Mixed Bag of Shoes, Cobbler Medley Will you be humming along? No theme caught my attention. But I sure did enjoy getting my horn out and improvising along. The score this makes me want to dust off: No score really... but check out the song "Start Wearing Purple" for fun. Will I come back to it? I'm on the fence here. This score has a nice mix of magic and humor. While I really enjoyed the textures that Debney and Urata created, I often can't come back to a comedy score that lacks a strong main theme. ....but I really dig the instrumentation and ethnic influences. I think, in the end, the score is endearing enough that I'll come back to it when I need something fun in the background. Question: Does anyone use the word "hip" anymore? |
