Bob Stewart is one of Bing Crosby's musical offspring along with Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, Arthur Prysock and Dick Haymes writes Gary Giddins in his best selling biography, InchBing Crosby - the Early YearsInch. Robert B. Parker writes InchSinatra, Hartman, Joe Williams and Mel Torme are gone, thank God we have Bob Stewart!Inch Bob's latest Did I Remember contains 13 remastered tracks from earlier releases and two unreleased tracks featuring Bob in concert at St Peter's Jazz Church with the legendary Mel Lewis/Thad Jones Jazz Orchestra. His rendition of My Funny Valentine is destined to be a jazz classic.

Rare is the soundtrack that as time passes overshadows the film of which it was a part, but that's what has happened in the years since the 1992 of The Last of the Mohicans. Not that the film is any slouch; Michael Mann's epic retelling of James Fenimore Cooper's frontier tale is a cable TV fixture and more evidence that Daniel Day-Lewis is one of the great actors of our time. But the film's music has emerged as easily one of the most popular scores of '90s cinema, with the InchMain TitleInch in particular having become a part of our popular culture the same way as, say, the signature themes from Titanic, Star Wars, and other blockbusters. What makes it even more extraordinary is that the movie's score emerged from postproduction turmoil as the work of two different composers, Trevor Jones and Randy Edelman. Jones' work is more of the traditional orchestral soundtrack ilk, Edelman's has a more contemporary feel, but somehow it all fits, with the closing credit song InchI Will Find YouInch by Clannad an added bonus. Long a bestselling soundtrack CD, we at Real Gone Music are releasing this revered soundtrack on double LP peach vinyl, inside a gatefold festooned with production stills. Guaranteed to get your blood stirring!
