American Splendor (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

American Splendor is an adaptation the autobiographical comics by the same name, written by Harvey Pekar. The soundtrack album has some selections by composer Mark Suozzo, but is predominantly made up of hard bop jazz that both the real-life Pekar and his fictional avatar favored. In fact, Pekar was also a prolific record collector and freelance music critic in addition to his work in comics.
