Lalo Schifrin - Black Widow / Towering Toccata

These albums feature some of the greatest jazz musicians of the period including Eric Gale, Steve Gadd, Hubert Laws, Anthony Jackson & Joe Farrell to name but a few.Lalo Schifrin puts a Jazz Funk vibe to some classic movie themes including Steven Spielberg's blockbuster Jaws which was released as a single and charted at 14 in the UK Singles chart, and became a worldwide Disco smash. Schifrin's CTI debut Black Widow proved a hit as it landed at no. 22 in the US list of Jazz bestsellers, and it also appeared on the R&B chart.

Again there was plenty of effervescent disco-funk grooves plus big movie theme adaptations including King Kong.
