Duplicity
A slick, rhythmic blend of cool jazz and orchestral tension. Upright bass and syncopated percussion create a sophisticated atmosphere of corporate cat-and-mouse.

Duplicity is a masterclass in 'cool' cinematic scoring, departing from James Newton Howard's more traditional, sweeping orchestral dramas. It sounds like the rhythmic pulse of a high-stakes corporate game, blending the sophisticated swagger of 1960s caper jazz with the crisp, digital precision of a modern thriller. The album is anchored by a prominent, walking upright bass that provides a constant sense of forward motion, even during its more contemplative stretches. It feels like a secret being kept in plain sight: polished, professional, and slightly dangerous.
