Movies is an album by the flugelhornist and composer Franco Ambrosetti which was recorded in 1986 and released on the Enja label the following year.[1] [2]
The album includes music from Porgy and Bess, yellow Submarine, Round Midnight, Star Spangled Rhythm, Lady Sings the Blues, The Magnificent Seven, The Blue Angel, and one of Ambrosetti's own compositions for the film Die Reise.
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow stated "When one considers the repertoire -- eight songs from movies ... this recording may not seem to have much potential. But actually, the set list includes four well-known standards and all of the music is transformed into creative and consistently exciting jazz ... and the performances are generally quite memorable. Recommended".
