Composed by three-time Oscar-winner HOWARD SHORE collaborating with both jazz legend ORNETTE COLEMAN and the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the Naked Lunch soundtrack is a dazzling mix of a traditional Hollywood Orchestral score with incredible free jazz flourishes from COLEMAN. Here he works with the London Philharmonic creating incredible textures over SHORE’s beautiful, edgy and moody orchestrations that recall BERNARD HERRMAN’s work on Taxi Driver and occasionally lets loose without them backed only by his son Denardo on drums, these tracks are thrilling and offer a perfect counterbalance to the more measured tracks with the Orchestra, showcasing the incredible and fearless free jazz stylings that made him a legend.
