Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris Soundtrack List Features Cole Porter, Sidney Bechet & Josephine Baker

Have you been trying to track down the Midnight in Paris Soundtrack List? Like many of Woody Allen's movies, his latest homage to Paris celebrates the best of jazz from the 1920s and 40s through Sidney Bechet, Josephine Baker and Cole Porter tunes. One of my favorite Sunday morning laze around the house albums was the soundtrack to Radio Days.

But you currently won't find the CD on Amazon.com. The Soundtrack to Midnight in Paris was originally released overseas and available only as a rare import. However, the original motion picture soundtrack was finally made available by Madison Gate Records, released on December 9th, 2011 on iTunes.

Thanks to a tip from one of the musicians, Peter Williams from Swing 41 who contributed the track "Je suis seul ce soir", Sony has plans to release an official soundtrack CD on Amazon.com. So we should hear about an official release date soon.

Just as Allen captured the vibrant magic of New York in Manhattan, we can easily forgive the award winning director and his cinematographer Darius Khondji for borrowing from Allen's previous filmography -- capturing lush frame upon frame of what we love most about cities like New York, Barcelona and Paris in peeling back the layers to reveal hidden stories and delights.

With such gorgeous visuals opening Allen's homage to the city of lights, it's as if the 76 year old director is sharing his latest crush or rather revealing in all its glory, his life long passion to runaway to Paris and write -- a dream many of us share.

If you haven't yet seen the movie or just want a quick getaway to Paris, you can now stream Midnight in Paris available online on Amazon.com, iTunes and even YouTube video rental. However, the movie can still be seen at a few screens, so do see it on the big screen if you get the chance.
