Otto Preminger handpicked Duke Ellington for the soundtrack to his 1959 courtroom drama, Anatomy of a Murder, and the jazz maestro made the most of the opportunity. With its steaming, incendiary horn blasts, the title theme brings the lascivious subgenre of “crime jazz” to full fruition. On the other end of the spectrum, the muted blues of “Midnight Indigo” spotlights the entire orchestra whispering in a perfect murmur, while “Sunswept Sunday” and “Almost Cried” show Duke coaxing specific instrumental voices from the symphonic din.
