''Alfie'' is a 1966 album by jazz saxophonist Sonny Rollins of music from the film of the same name. The original British film soundtrack featured Rollins with local musicians, including pianist Stan Tracey, who are not heard on this album. It features performances by Rollins, with Kenny Burrell, Jimmy Cleveland, J.J. Johnson and Roger Kellaway, arranged and conducted by Oliver Nelson.〔(vervemusicgroup.com Alfie by Sonny Rollins )〕 Burt Bacharach was inspired by the film to write the title song, ''Alfie'', which became a top ten hit in the UK for Cilla Black. It subsequently appeared in the US release of the film over the final titles, in a version sung by Cher (produced by Sonny Bono). Later, Dionne Warwick recorded the most popular cover of the song. Bacharach and Hal David received an Oscar nomination for the song. The album reached #17 on the R&B ''Billboard'' chart.〔(Allmusic charts )〕 In the UK the album was originally released with the title ''Sonny Plays Alfie'' on the HMV label before resurfacing in 1972 as ''Alfie'' on the jazz-based Impulse! label, as in the United States. == Tracklisting == :''All compositions by Sonny Rollins except as indicated'' # "Alfie's Theme" – 9:41 # "He's Younger Than You Are" – 5:09 # "Street Runner with Child" – 3:59 # "Transition Theme for Minor Blues or Little Malcolm Loves His Dad" – 5:49 # "On Impulse" – 4:28 # "Alfie's Theme Differently" – 3:44 * * Recorded at Rudy Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, NJ, January 26, 1966 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alfie (Sonny Rollins album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
