Smog (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is an iconic 1962 jazz soundtrack by Italian composer Piero Umiliani. Recorded in Rome for Franco Rossi's film of the same name, the score revolves around a unique creative collaboration with legendary American trumpeter Chet Baker and outstanding vocalist Helen Merrill.
The soundtrack skillfully blends the traditions of Italian film music with the melancholy sounds of cool West Coast jazz, capturing the atmosphere of alienation and fading glamour of early 1960s Los Angeles.
