Some Like It Hot (subtitled Modern Jazz Performances of Songs featured in the Motion Picture starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis & Jack Lemmon Produced and Directed by Billy Wilder) is an album by guitarist
Barney Kessel performing adaptations music from
Billy Wilder's 1959 film Some Like It Hot, recorded in 1959 and released on the
Contemporary label.[1]
The
Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states: "Such tunes as 'I Wanna Be Loved by You,' 'Runnin' Wild,' 'Down Among the Sheltering Palms,' and 'By the Beautiful Sea' are given fairly modern arrangements but still retain the flavor of the 1920s, and it's particularly interesting to hear Gordon and Pepper soloing on these ancient songs".[2]
