With music by acclaimed composer Marc Shaiman, the album combines original score material with a superb selection of classic jazz and popular songs, creating a sophisticated, romantic soundtrack steeped in the sounds of Paris and the American songbook. The original Elektra CD was released in May 1995.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe soundtrack's vocal highlights include Anita Baker and James Ingram's “When You Love Someone”, a specially written song by Baker, Ingram and Shaiman and produced by David Foster, alongside Billie Holiday's timeless performances of “Love Is Here To Stay” and “For All We Know.” The collection also reaches back into the golden age of jazz and popular song with Louis Prima's “Lazy River” and the celebrated Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong recording of “April In Paris.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eShaiman's own contributions provide the musical framework for the film. “April In Paris,” “Paris Suite,” “Swish,” “Craig And Lucy,” “Tea For Two \/ It Don't Mean A Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing),” “Nice Work If You Can Get It,” “My Melancholy Baby” and “To Marriage” demonstrate his ability to combine orchestral film scoring with the language of classic American popular music. The result is a soundtrack that moves naturally between romantic orchestration, jazz standards and contemporary 1990s vocal pop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThere is plenty here for fans of classic jazz as well, with David Sanborn's “Come Rain Or Come Shine” and the extended “April In Paris” by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong sitting alongside Billie Holiday, Louis Prima and Shaiman's original compositions. The inclusion of “When You Love Someone (Instrumental)” also gives the album a chance to revisit its central contemporary theme in a purely instrumental setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eFor collectors of 1990s film soundtracks, Marc Shaiman, jazz soundtrack albums and classic vocal recordings, \u003cem\u003eForget Paris\u003c\/em\u003e offers an appealing mixture of original film music and legendary performances. It is particularly notable for bringing together artists from very different eras — from Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong to Anita Baker, James Ingram and David Sanborn — within a single soundtrack built around Shaiman's elegant score.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTracklist\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col data-spread=\"false\" start=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnita Baker \u0026amp; James Ingram – When You Love Someone\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBillie Holiday – Love Is Here To Stay\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMarc Shaiman – April In Paris\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBillie Holiday – For All We Know\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLouis Prima – Lazy River\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDavid Sanborn – Come Rain Or Come Shine\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eElla Fitzgerald \u0026amp; Louis Armstrong – April In Paris\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMarc Shaiman – Paris Suite\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMarc Shaiman – Swish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMarc Shaiman – Craig And Lucy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMarc Shaiman – Tea For Two \/ It Don't Mean A Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMarc Shaiman – Nice Work If You Can Get It\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMarc Shaiman – My Melancholy Baby\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMarc Shaiman – When You Love Someone (Instrumental)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMarc Shaiman – To Marriage\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mNhqYnzHp_Q?si=K4EQVdUAK0wOG3oW\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elektra Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55540540866902,"sku":"7599-61825-2","price":3.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/1013\/7686\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_da2a0904-41d8-4591-916a-9e825731f61b.jpg?v=1790770237","url":"https:\/\/www.sounds-grounds.co.uk\/products\/marc-shaiman-forget-paris-music-from-the-motion-picture-soundtrack","provider":"Sounds + Grounds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
