Eastwood symphonic

"Apart from the slight quibble that Jerry Fielding's The Gauntlet score (which originally featured Art Pepper and Jon Faddis) isn't included, this is good quality work from all concerned and a tribute that should inspire further listening to the impressive collection of film music associated with the 'man with no name'".

"Eastwood Symphonic, a frankly brilliant collection assembled by musician/composer Kyle Eastwood in celebration of the films of his father, Clint. Highlights from his career in front of and behind the camera are brought to life in vivid symphonic jazz arrangements by Gast Waltzing, with rollicking themes by Lalo Schifrin (Magnum Force, Dirty Harry) and John Williams (The Eiger Sanction) the very best examples. Clint Eastwood's own theme from Gran Torino ... offer some cooler respite and soulful solo performances by Eastwood, Jr. and friends".

"Kyle Eastwood's working quintet joins forces with the Czech National Symphony Orchestra, and for a few dollars more he enlisted Grammy-winning composer Gast Waltzing to arrange and conduct the 12 selections. The result is not flawless, but it's assuredly more good than bad, or ugly ... overall, Clint Eastwood's cinematic themes are validated in evocative, dramatic fashion, and Kyle Eastwood and his band shine as expressive players and excellent soloists. As his father would no doubt attest, one is never unforgiven for trying to do something ambitious, pass or fail. If you want a guarantee, buy a toaster".
