作曲家について： 1928年2月、ブロンクスで生まれたジェラルド・フリードは、ニューヨークのハイスクール・オブ・ミュージック＆アートで音楽への興味を持つようになる。ジュリアード音楽院でオーボエを専攻し、1945年に卒業した。初期の友人にはスタンリー・キューブリックがいた。フリードはクラシック音楽、キューブリックは映画製作というように、2人はよくグリニッジ・ヴィレッジをぶらつき、お互いの興味の芽生えを語り合っていた。キューブリックがボクシングを題材にした18分の短編映画「DAY OF THE FIGHT」の撮影を開始したとき、2人の興味は融合した。キューブリック監督は、フリードが音楽を専攻していることを知っていたため、「このボクシング映画の音楽を作ってくれないか」と頼みました。当時は映画音楽の学校も講座もなかったので、フリードは数カ月かけて映画館に通い、映画音楽がどのように機能するかを学んだ。フリードは効果的な楽譜を書き、キューブリックはこの映画をRKOパテに売却した。フリードはキューブリックと再会し、『現金に体を張れ』『突撃』など、キューブリック監督作品4本のスコアを担当し、若き映画監督の名声を高めた。
Dragon’s Domain Records presents the premiere release of music composed by Gerald Fried (THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E., STAR TREK, ROOTS) for two films from his extensive filmography, "DINO" and I, MOBSTER.
"DINO" and I, MOBSTER celebrates two of Fried’s gangster films from the late 1950s. "DINO" focuses on a paroled juvenile delinquent (Sal Mineo) who receives support from a social worker (Brian Keith) and a girl (Susan Kohner) from the slums and Roger Corman’s I, MOBSTER (1959), which tells the story of the rise and fall of brutal gang lord Joe Sante (Steve Cochran). DINO and I, MOBSTER are two of Fried’s most exciting crime film scores. With both of these scores, Fried embraces a mix of diegetic jazz and 1950s-styled dance tunes as source music to set the mood and tone of the story and identify the environment in which the films take place. He then uses those same instruments but without the jazz harmonization, more dramatic instrumentation, using the jazz instruments for the underscoring.
Born February, 1928 in the Bronx, Gerald Fried’s interest in music found its first fruition at the High School of Music & Art in New York City. He attended The Juilliard School of Music as an oboe major, graduating in 1945. Among his earliest friends was Stanley Kubrick. The two of them used to hang around Greenwich Village and talk about their budding interests, Fried’s in classical music and Kubrick’s in filmmaking. Their interests merged when Kubrick began filming DAY OF THE FIGHT, an 18-minute short about boxing. Knowing Fried was a music major, Kubrick asked him if he could write the score for his boxing picture. Fried agreed, then spent months going to the movies to learn how film scores worked, there being no schools or courses on film music in those days. Fried wrote an effective score, and Kubrick sold the film to RKO Pathe. Fried rejoined Kubrick to score four more of his films, including THE KILLING and PATHS TO GLORY, where the young filmmaker first gained his reputation.
After the success of THE KILLING in 1956, Kubrick moved to Los Angeles, shortly followed by Fried, who was immediately hired to compose and arrange music for several films. By the 1960s, Fried moved into television, scoring episodes of GILLIGAN’S ISLAND, THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E., MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE and STAR TREK. By the 1970s Fried was composing music for numerous made-for-TV movies. His best-known score of the decade was for the 1977 miniseries ROOTS, which he took over scoring when Quincy Jones fell behind and was unable to meet the broadcast deadline for the eight-hour miniseries. Both Jones and Fried won Emmy Awards for their musical efforts on the series. Fried recently passed away in February 2023.
Dragon’s Domain Records presents "DINO" and I, MOBSTER featuring music composed by Gerald Fried. The music has been mastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland and the liner notes have been written by noted author Randall Larson.

ジェラルド・フリードが音楽を担当した1950年代後半のギャング映画2作品のオリジナル・サウンドトラックをカップリング収録。いずれも世界初リリースです！『"DINO"』とロジャー・コーマン監督の『暗黒街の掟』(1958)は、フリードの犯罪映画音楽の中で最もエキサイティングな2作品である。この2つの作品では、フリードは、物語のムードとトーンを設定し、映画の舞台となる環境を特定するためのソースミュージックとして、ディジェティックジャズと1950年代スタイルのダンスチューンのミックスを採用しています。その後、同じ楽器を使っていますが、ジャズのハーモニーは使わず、よりドラマチックな楽器編成で、ジャズの楽器はアンダースコアに使っています。限定500枚。
トラックリスト作曲家について：
1928年2月、ブロンクスで生まれたジェラルド・フリードは、ニューヨークのハイスクール・オブ・ミュージック＆アートで音楽への興味を持つようになる。ジュリアード音楽院でオーボエを専攻し、1945年に卒業した。初期の友人にはスタンリー・キューブリックがいた。フリードはクラシック音楽、キューブリックは映画製作というように、2人はよくグリニッジ・ヴィレッジをぶらつき、お互いの興味の芽生えを語り合っていた。キューブリックがボクシングを題材にした18分の短編映画「DAY OF THE FIGHT」の撮影を開始したとき、2人の興味は融合した。キューブリック監督は、フリードが音楽を専攻していることを知っていたため、「このボクシング映画の音楽を作ってくれないか」と頼みました。当時は映画音楽の学校も講座もなかったので、フリードは数カ月かけて映画館に通い、映画音楽がどのように機能するかを学んだ。フリードは効果的な楽譜を書き、キューブリックはこの映画をRKOパテに売却した。フリードはキューブリックと再会し、『現金に体を張れ』『突撃』など、キューブリック監督作品4本のスコアを担当し、若き映画監督の名声を高めた。
1956年の「現金に体を張れ」の成功後、キューブリックはロサンゼルスに移り住み、まもなくフリードも雇われ、いくつかの映画の作曲と編曲を担当することになった。1960年代に入ると、フリードはテレビ界に進出し、「ギリガン君ＳＯＳ」「００１１ナポレオン・ソロ」「ミッション：インポッシブル」「スター・トレック」のエピソードを作曲した。1970年代に入ると、フリードは数多くのテレビ映画の音楽を手がけるようになった。この10年間で最も有名な作品は、1977年のミニシリーズ「ＲＯＯＴＳ／ルーツ」で、クインシー・ジョーンズが8時間のミニシリーズの放送期限に間に合わなかったため、彼が作曲を引き継いだものである。ジョーンズとフリードは、このシリーズでの音楽的努力によりエミー賞を受賞した。フリードは最近、2023年2月に他界した。
