How do you pay fitting tribute to Ennio Morricone, the great Italian composer who died in July last year? For a start, if you're preparing a single set of tunes, how do you even begin to select what best represents him from the more than 500 film soundtracks he worked on?

Not easy, but the Italian saxophonist Stefano Di Battista makes a very decent fist(ful of dollars) of the task here.

There's music from Morricone's most famous works – Once Upon a Time in the West, 1900, The Mission – but Di Battista knows to eschew a ‘greatest hits' approach, and includes a previously unreleased work gifted to him by Morricone, ‘Flora', on which his saxophone sweetly, dreamily soars. Di Battista and his collaborators conjure a noirish mood on ‘Peur sur la Ville' and unearth lesser-known pieces from the repertoire with the likes of ‘Cosa avete fatto a Solange?'.

Most fun is had on the famous theme for The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, however, with its yodelled coyote motif, which brings the set to an exuberant, suitably widescreen close.
