Review
This score is credited to "The Ultimate Blues Band," and you can't argue with the name when the personnel includes John Lee Hooker and Miles Davis. A moody, slinky, bluesy, jazzy, improvised score that's full of treats. The kind of smoky delight that you can only hear in an old Mississippi blues bar.
