36 piece funk-orchestral celebration of the seminal film score's 50th Anniversary!
Marvin Gaye was extremely proud of his pioneering film score for the “blaxploitation” film “Trouble Man”. In 1982, he commented: “The "Trouble Man" film score was one of my loveliest projects [...] And put to a symphony, if someone took my album and did a symphony on it, I think it would be quite interesting.”
Review from The Wire (UK) "Zelonky's project is a wonderland of mixed genres united by a singular musical vision, paying respectful and inventive homage to the spirit of 70's psychedelic soul, jazz, and funk."
Review from NostalgiaKing: "This new adaption of a true classic is absolutely amazing in every way. It sounds as if it could’ve been recorded 50 years ago yet refreshing and modern without losing any of the previous elements that made it special in the first place. As a Blaxploitation purist, there is no way that we couldn’t love this project from beginning to end and it’s been on constant rotation since it landed in the post."
Review From Crimereads "... a dazzling project I imagine the Motown soul man would’ve loved. [...] the final product is a brilliant tribute."
Dusty Groove "(Zelonky) has completely absorbed the original – so that he can take the whole thing and open it up with new arrangements, interesting instrumentation, and a mix of strings, jazz, and funky elements that are completely sublime. If anything, the set seems to more fully expand on the orchestrations of the original, while losing none of the sense of the soul"
