儿时的洛夫就开始学小提琴，但后来改学伸缩喇叭。1937年，杰夫·洛夫第一次参与到了诺曼底广播电台的节目中。在和一些乐队与艺人合作之后，杰夫·洛夫在1955年组成了他自己的乐队，从此乐队开始亮相于电视节目并在EMI旗下录制唱片和巡演。

1958年，杰夫·洛夫与有着曼波舞之王称号的佩雷兹·普拉多合作的一首恰恰舞曲Patricia成为了热门。他还和佩雷兹·普拉多合作录制了一些包括“迷惑的夜晚－Enchanted Evenings”在内的唱片，1959年，杰夫·洛夫和他的乐队以Manuel & The Music of The Mountains为队名录制唱片。据说这样做，只是为了证明他自己的成功。

除了他自己的乐队的唱片，杰夫·洛夫还参与许多著名艺术家如康尼·法兰西斯，罗斯·康威和朱迪·加兰德等人的唱片录制与音乐会。在70年代，杰夫·洛夫乐队又分别用过Billy's Banjo Band和Geoff Love's Banjo Band。但在推出他那些著名的大战争题材、大西部片题材和大爱电影题材唱片时杰夫·洛夫仍然用他自己原来的乐队名Geoff Love and His Orchestra。影视主题和拉丁舞曲是杰奥夫·洛夫乐队的主要特色。不过70年代后期，杰奥夫·洛夫在保持他一贯的华尔兹和探戈风格前提下，他也在一些专辑中尝试过迪斯科曲风。(这里）

He recorded at least two albums with Shirley Bassey in 1959 and 1960. Love also recorded under the name 'Manuel & The Music of The Mountains', in which guise he released several works on EMI's Studio 2 Stereo record label including a single entitled "Rodrigo's Guitar Concerto De Aranjuez (Theme from 2nd Movement)", an interpretation of the "Concierto de Aranjuez". This reached number 3 in the UK Singles Chart in 1976. He recorded many albums for MFP, often featuring film or television themes such as: Big War Movie Themes (1971), Big Movie Western Themes (1971), Great TV Western Movie Themes (1970) or other instrumental and disco music. Big Bond Movie Themes (1975) featuring a selection of instrumental versions of music and songs from the James Bond film series from Dr. No up to The Man with the Golden Gun (including Burt Bacharach's Casino Royale from the 1967 spoof Bond film) has since become one of Love's most sought after MFP albums. One of these MFP sets was called Glad with Love – which featured the pianist Mrs Mills and Geoff Love on a sing-along together – with studio audience participation......(More see here)

Digitmovies is glad to present a full stereo de-luxe edition CD of the complete OST by Ennio Morricone for the classic Italian western “La banda J. & S. cronaca criminale del Far West” (aka “Sonny and Jed”) directed in 1972 by Sergio Corbucci and starring Tomas Milian, Susan George and Telly Savalas. The movie tells the story of a sheriff (Savalas) who wants to track down and capture the bandit Jess Trigado (Milian) and his girlfriend Sonny (George) who usually steel money from the rich. This manhunt has the beautiful background score by Academy winner Ennio Morricone and stylistically his music for this OST is very close to the semi-pop sound of “Vamos a matar companeros”, “Che c’entriamo noi con la rivoluzione?”, the two “Provvidenza” movies , “Il mio nome è nessuno”, “Un genio,due compari,un pollo”.

In this OST, dramatic music is pratically missing and Ennio Morricone puts in evidence the comic and romantic side of the plot with a series of lovely themes, sometimes funny and brilliant like “Sonny” (Tr.1, Tr.7), “Wanted dead or alive” (Tr.2),”The saloon’s girls” (Tr.5), sometimes melancholic and romantic like “J & S love” (Tr.3) and “Sweet Susan” (Tr.6) splendidly performed by great soloists like the choir of Cantori Moderni di Alessandroni, Franco De Gemini playing the Harmonica, Alessandro Alessandroni’s whistle, Oscar Valdambrini playing the flugelhorn.

In October 1972 C.A.M. issued a 45 rpm single (AMP 101) with the tracks “Sweet Susan” (A side) and “Sonny” (B side) (version edited for the single). The US Cerberus label issued in 1982 a LP (CEM-S 0111) featuring on the A side five tracks from “La banda J. & S. cronaca criminale del Far West” and on the B side selections from the OST of “I cannibali”. In 1992 six selections were released by C.A.M for the first time on CD (CAM CSE 050) in its Soundtrack Enciclopedia series coupled with selections from the OST “Le monachine” and “Professione figlio” (aka “Bugie bianche”).

For this CD we could use the stereo master tapes of the original recording session kept in perfect conditions in the historic vaults of C.A.M. that gave us the chance to discover long versions of the themes “J & S love” (Tr.3) and “J & S Waltz” (Tr.4) (about 4:33 of inedit material). Together with the single edit version of “Sonny” (tr.7) we enclose about total 7:53 of material previously unreleased on the original 33 rpm and CD. Our Cd has a total length of 30:19 only, but we used all we could find on the stereo master tapes except short fragments of Saloon piano by Chopin and a fragment of an off-key violin solo. We hope that Spaghetti Westerns fans around will be happy to have in their private archives this de-luxe Cd exclusively dedicated to this short, but nice OST. (这里）

译文：“数字电影”很高兴为您提供一个带有完整OST的立体声CD豪华版，它是埃尼奥 莫里康内为1972年由塞尔乔 库比奇导演的经典的意大利西部电影“桑尼和杰德-在遥远西部的犯罪记录”（又名“桑尼和杰德”）所作的音乐。此片由托马斯 米利安，苏珊 乔治和特勒 萨瓦拉斯主演。电影讲述这样的一个故事，一个警长（萨瓦拉斯饰演）要跟踪和捕获强盗杰德（米利安饰演）和他的女朋友桑尼（乔治饰演）。搜捕的背景音乐由奥斯卡获奖人莫里康内谱曲。音乐的风格非常接近流行的电影“决斗者”（NA7010-Vamos a matar companeros）和“革命时我们都干了什么”（NA7203-Che c’entriamo noi con la rivoluzione?）,和两部普罗维登斯（“Provvidenza”）电影“无名小子”（NA7304-Il mio nome è nessuno），“一个天才、两个朋友和一个傻子”(NA7514-Un genio,due compari,un pollo）。在这一组原声音乐中，缺少戏剧性的旋律，莫里康内明显地使用了喜剧和浪漫风格的旋律，为了配合电影中一系列爱情主题，有时是滑稽和闪耀的。例如 “Sonny” (Tr.1, Tr.7), “Wanted dead or alive” (Tr.2),”The saloon’s girls” (Tr.5), sometimes melancholic and romantic like “J & S love” (Tr.3) and “Sweet Susan” (Tr.6)。演奏的阵营是很壮观的，像唱诗班的领唱，著名的独唱家亚里山度尼，口琴演奏家 弗兰克 德杰米尼（Franco De Gemini），亚里山多罗，亚里山度尼的口哨，奥斯卡获奖人瓦德布里尼演奏的小号等等。

1972年10月C.A.M.发行了带有“甜美的苏珊”的单面45转唱片(AMP 101)（A面）和“桑尼”（B面）（版面以单面编辑）。美国赛伯乐1982年发行了一张LP (CEM-S 0111) (编者注，慢转密纹唱片），它的A面是电影“桑尼和杰德-在遥远西部的犯罪记录”的5首音乐，B面音乐是选自电影“食人族”（NA6903-I cannibali)。 在1992年，C.A.M.第一次以CD形式 (CAM CSE 050)在它的音乐百科全书系列精选了6首音乐，其中还包括来自电影小修女（NA6304-Le monachine)和电影威尼斯谎言（NA7912-Professione figlio)的音乐。 为了在这张CD中我们可以使用原始录音的立体声母带以取得完美的效果，C.A.M. 给我们创造条件找出了 “J & S love” (Tr.3) 和 “J & S Waltz” (Tr.4)的长版主题曲 (剪辑的结果大约是4分33秒). 加上单独编辑的 “Sonny” (tr.7)，我们在原先33转唱片和CD中增加了从未释放过的7分33秒的音乐。我们的CD总长度为30分19秒，这已是我们在立体声母带中所能找到的全部素材，除去一些钢琴和小提琴的碎片。我们希望通心粉西部片的粉丝们将为得到这样一张豪华的CD而高兴，尽管它不长，但绝对是一张好的原声音乐
