The Marlowe Suite

About the Artist
Composer Clint Page encountered Philip Marlowe for the first time in the mid-fifties and has remained a fan ever since. He has been a jazz piano fan for almost as long and has been known to fool around on the keyboard himself. In the Marlowe Suite he combines his two loves.

Product Description
Smoky rooms, lonely streets; jazz with a hardboiled touch. Raymond Chandler's seven Philip Marlowe novels were the inspiration for this suite of classic jazz tunes. Piano, bass, drums and sax capture a late-night mood. If you like Scott Hamilton, Ellis Marsalis, Jimmy Rowles and Dave McKenna, you'll love The Marlowe Suite.

Customer Reviews:

Smooth, Sexy Sounds.......2005-06-05

This CD is a delightful surprise of smooth, sexy sounds. I just wish there were 4 discs in the box.

Great Jazz.......2004-04-02

Clint page has written a wonderfully smooth and entertaining jazz set in the Marlowe Suite. I have listened to this CD many times and just hope that the composer's next effort is as grand as this, his first. Give us more, Clint!

Highly Recommended.......2002-10-03

I found this CD amazing- at certain times eclectic and interesting and at other times haunting, bittersweet and moving. A very enjoyable romantic precise piece of work.

Great Soothing Jazz.......2002-07-12

The Marlowe Suite is delightful music for pleasureable listening. The four musicians, Tony Taranto (piano), Mark Neuenschwander (bass), Mark Gould (saxophone) and John Shaw (drums) make scintillating harmonious renditions of Clint Page's compositions. It is a terrific addition for any true smooth jazz lovers collection.

Modern Jazz, Old Style.......2002-07-10

What a totally captivating CD! The liner notes say it's inspired by Marlowe's detective stories but you don't have to be any kind of sleuth, music or otherwise, to enjoy the devil out of this one. If you're a jazz fan, this 2002 disc is a refreshing change from souless, clinical modern jazz (you know who you are, Kenny G!).
