One of Britain’s foremost post-war jazzers, Johnny Dankworth became an in-demand scorer of films in the early sixties. Starting with 1960’s tough crime drama The Criminal, he built up an astonishing soundtrack catalogue.

This is the first ever compilation for one of Britain's greatest and most underrated soundtrack composers. LET'S SLIP AWAY summarises Johnny Dankworth’s work from the 60s and 70s over 2 discs, including themes and excerpts from The Servant, Saturday Night & Sunday Morning, Accident, Modesty Blaize, and Morgan: A Suitable Case For Treatment, not forgetting his classic Tomorrow's World theme.
