Not surprisingly, Woody Allen’s latest film incorporates music closest to his soul. The venerated director, who is also a talented clarintetist, fills the “dramedy” with his lifelong musical heroes: Duke Ellington, Erroll Garner, Dick Hyman, and others. Garner’s “The Best Things in Life Are Free” gives the listener chills while Ellington’s “In a Mellow Tone” will instantly gratify fans with comfortable relaxation.
