JOHNNY STACCATO COMPLETE SERIES JAZZ NOIR

One of the great lost jazz noir series. This 5 disc collection includes all 27 episodes of JOHNNY STACCATO starring John Cassavetes. From 1959, Jazz pianist Johnny Staccato supplements his meager musician's income by working as a private detective. The background for many of the episodes is his friend "Waldo's" jazz club in New York City's Greenwich Village, featuring performances by the Pete Candoli jazz combo which included Barney Kessel, Shelly Manne, Red Mitchell, Red Norvo and Johnny Williams. The theme was composed by Elmer Bernstein. Pretty violent for its time and rumor has it, that's why it was cancelled. Episodes titles are...

The Naked Truth ...Murder for Credit ...Shop of the Four Winds ...Viva, Paco! ...The Nature of the Night ...Evil ...Murder in Hi-fi ...The Poet's Touch ...Fly, Baby, Fly ...Tempted ...A Piece of Paradise ...The Unwise Men ...The Return ...Collector's Item ...Man in the Pit ...The Wild Reed ...The Only Witness ...Night of Jeopardy ...Swinging Long Hair ...Double Feature ...A Nice Little Town ...List of Death ...Solomon ...An Act of Terror ...An Angry Young Man ...The Mask of Jason .
