This coming Tuesday, we’ll be offering the first-ever release of Kenyon Hopkin’s evocative soundtrack for the 1969 Michael Ritchie film, Downhill Racer, starring Robert Redford and Gene Hackman, both actors then getting legendary careers underway. Hopkins’ score showcases his terrific style of melding jazz band idioms with symphonic orchestra colors, with strings, oboe, English horn, harpsichord and others fitting comfortably within the big band brass and percussion sections. Artwork, contents and audio samples will be available here on Monday afternoon, August 26, with the CD available on Tuesday the 27th.
