Dingo: Selections From The Motion Picture Soundtrack

Dingo: Selections From The Motion Picture Soundtrack captures a remarkable collaboration between two musical giants: legendary jazz trumpeter Miles Davis and acclaimed French composer Michel Legrand.

Released in 1991, the soundtrack was created for the Australian film Dingo, directed by Rolf de Heer and starring Colin Friels alongside Miles Davis himself. The film tells the story of an Australian musician inspired by a chance encounter with a legendary jazz trumpeter, making music an integral part of its emotional core.

For the soundtrack, Davis and Legrand combined their distinctive talents to create a rich and evocative collection that blends jazz improvisation, cinematic orchestration and atmospheric composition. The result is a soundtrack that moves effortlessly between intimate jazz performances and sweeping film score arrangements, showcasing both artists at the height of their creative powers.

Notably, Dingo would become one of the final major recording projects of Miles Davis' career, released shortly before his passing in 1991. His expressive trumpet playing is featured throughout, complemented by Michel Legrand's elegant and sophisticated compositions, creating a unique meeting point between jazz and film music.

Widely praised by fans and critics alike, Dingo remains a hidden gem within the Miles Davis catalogue and a standout soundtrack recording that highlights the enduring artistry of two musical masters.

This edition presents Dingo: Selections From The Motion Picture Soundtrack on 140g vinyl, offering a fresh opportunity to experience this beautiful and often overlooked collaboration.
