Overview
The Great Gatsby Jazz Recordings is a collection of timeless jazz classics featured in Baz Luhrmann’s film The Great Gatsby, curated by Bryan Ferry and performed by his orchestra. This album seamlessly combines the lush, glamorous world of the 1920s with modern interpretations, featuring tracks such as Bryan Ferry’s “Young and Beautiful” and “Back to Black,” alongside jazz staples like “Ain’t Misbehavin’” by Louis Armstrong. The orchestral arrangements and energetic performances evoke the decadence and excitement of the Jazz Age, making this album a standout in film soundtracks. Produced by Baz Luhrmann and Bryan Ferry, it brings the golden age of jazz to life with an elegant yet contemporary touch.
