• The soundtrack to Wes Anderson’s short protofilm for Bottle Rocket will be available digitally for the first time starting December 9, from Fantasy Records/Concord Music, the company announced today. The release was timed to coincide with Criterion’s new DVD of the feature film (with short). Click here for the full story on this jazz-oriented album, produced by Anderson and supervisor Randall Poster, and including selections from Sonny Rollins (“Old Devil Moon”), Chet Baker and Art Pepper (“The Route”), and Duke Ellington and John Coltrane (“Stevie”). We’ll post an update with the link to buy the album on the 9th.

    Update (9DEC08): The album is now available! Download from Amazon and iTunes.

    nice, i always liked watching the contrast between the robbery of the two films, the jazz in the one, and Love in the other, it totally changed the feel

    i always wondered how was that they decided to include "Préndeme la vela" by peruvian Abelardo Vasquez. i remember the music was played when this paraguayan girl was on scene. funny and odd.
