Song Questions


I am looking for the songs that are playing during the following scenes:

1. When Darius is chasing the train (when Nina is leaving for NY)
2. When Nina is leaving the club in the rain after she recites her poem (final scene)

I checked the music credits and I don't think they're included. Thanks.

If you're referring to the jazz tunes during those sequences, they're probably part of the film's score. The film's composer Marcus Miller is a jazz bassist and multi-instrumentalist who does alot of session work and has played with many famous pop and jazz artists and was a member of The Jamaica Boys. He produced one of Miles Davis' last albums, TUTU, which won a Grammy and played all of the instruments on it except of course, trumpet that was played by Miles. He probably put a jazz group together for the tunes you're speaking of.

I didn't see them listed in the credits either but the resolution on my tv isn't that great when it comes to tiny credits.

I think those are cuts by John Coltrane. Can't think of titles at the moment but that's my guess. At least, the one in the end when she's leaving the club after reciting her poem.

Not sure about the first question, but if memory serves me correctly, the last song is "I'm The Only Woman You Need" from Mary J. Blige's My Life Album. However, I'm not sure if Mary took the music from another artist and song.
