About this album
Joe Jackson’s Tucker: The Man And His Dream is a smart, characterful soundtrack that turns Preston Tucker’s visionary story into agile jazz, blues and pop sketches. Issued in 1988 for Francis Ford Coppola’s film, the album moves beyond functional score writing, using cool jazz cues, jaunty brass and blues-inflected themes to mirror the optimism, bustle and frustration of Tucker’s automotive ambition. Jackson had already proved himself an unusually versatile songwriter and arranger, and here he brings that same sharp melodic sense to film music, giving the soundtrack both period flavour and distinct personality. It stands as one of his most engaging screen works.
