Latin Jazz Suite - Lalo Schifrin

The Concept of Steve McQueen

Advantages: Good tunes
Disadvantages: Looses the atmosphere of the original

Bullitt is one of my favourite films and no small part of that is Lalo Schifrin’s jazz flavoured sound track. However it’s not a particularly straight form of jazz. My father is a large fan of jazz and yet couldn’t name any other artist who has produced music similar to Lalo’s sound track. The overall tone of the music is darker than ‘normal’ jazz, reflecting the less than cheery outlook of the movie. However, this is NOT the original sound track, oh no. There are quite a few Bullitt CD’s floating round and this one, released in May 2001 is somewhat obviously not the original original sound track. Instead it’s a re-recording supervised by Lalo and performed by the musical talents of the WDR orchestra, “Bullitt – Music recreated from and inspired by the motion picture” ...

Review of Bullitt (Original Soundtrack) [Remastered] - Lalo Schifrin

HONDA JAZZ 1.4 SE CVT-7. AUTOMATICALLY BETTER?

Advantages: Great Transmission. Smooth Engine. Low Running Costs. Hugely Spacious Interior. Build Quality.
Disadvantages: Messy Dashboard Styling. Uninspiring Exterior Styling.

WHAT IS IT? The Jazz is Honda's entry into the highly contested and ever popular "supermini" market. It is a five door hatchback, a very simple range to choose from as there are no variants; saloon, convertible etc, all Jazz models therefore share the same "two box" styling. For those of you to whom it may be important, the dimensions are as follows: Length 3845mm x Width 1878mm x Height 1525mm. It is therefore a fairly short, yet wide and tall small car, having a tardis affect inside where it seems much larger than you would think looking at the car sitting next to the pavement. There are any number of competitors from Japanese, Korean and European countries, probably its' most likely competition can be found in the form of the Ford Fiesta, Mitsubishi Colt, Nissan Micra and Vauxhall Corsa, all of which offer a much larger ...

Review of Honda Jazz

Jazz up your motoring

Advantages: space, comfort, flexibility, fuel economy
Disadvantages: absolutely none for me

Having endured a horrifying M5 breakdown in my 5 year old Escort not long ago, I decided the time was right for a new car. And I wanted brand new, in the hope that I would be guaranteed a few years trouble-free motoring (and hopefully no sudden expenses) with a good warranty and some peace of mind. In my new car, I wanted the following features: Light and easy to drive Comfortable seating and leg room in the back Fuel economy A good sounding stereo Affordable insurance Quiet and reasonably powerful engine Safety Good looks Flexibility (i.e. can take large packages/suitcases etc when necessary) A make with a strong reputation for reliability Extra gizmos Under (preferably considerably under) £10,000 A lot to ask? Yes, but then along came the Honda Jazz? Criteria 1: Light and easy to drive My Honda Jazz drives ...
