Saxophonist Jane Ira Bloom's jazz soundscore for the TV-movie "Shadow of a Doubt" starring Brian Dennehy & Bonnie Bedelia premiered nation-wide on NBC-TV December 10th, 1995 at 9:00 pm. The two hour motion picture for television project, written & directed by Brian Dennehy and produced by Scripps Howard Productions is a murder mystery which Bloom scored for jazz quintet featuring jazz artists Keith Underwood (flutes), Mike Renzi (piano), Harvie Swartz (bass), AkiraTana (drums/ percussion), and herself on sax. Bloom's husband, actor Joe Grifasi also costarred in the film.

Interview: October 1994
"What I use is effects processing. Basically a couple of old digital delays, harmonizers, & multi-effects units; they have various programs that I designed at home and trigger with foot pedals. I try to combine the programs in interesting ways. The whole concept is that it's spontaneous. Basically I'm blending the acoustic sound of my soprano and using it as the core impetus, the core sound for electronic enhancement. You can still hear the breath; you can still feel the phrasing, and you can still tell it's me."

...The integration of improvisors and non-improvisors, the exploration of spatial effects, and the use of live electronics to augment the sound of the saxophone - return in Einstein's Red/Blue Universe, Bloom's first work for full orchestra. "Over the years what began as intuitive movement in my own playing as an improvisor has grown into an interest in orchestrating whole sections of instruments in motion," she writes. "I've found that in opening my ears to the orchestra I have changed the way I think about jazz groups, and naturally the personality of small jazz-group playing has affected the way I think about the orchestra. For me Einstein's Red/Blue Universe has been about getting improvisors and improvisation inside the orchestra, and then rethinking the spatial parameters of what that orchestral sound could be."
