(As I've mentioned before!) A fine album. I particularly like 'Monk's Dream'.

These days I'm listening every night to a couple of hours of music on Jazz FM. I love the mix of music it plays which is predominantly but not all jazz. As you probably know the station has been marking the 80th anniversary of Blue Note Records.

I didn't know that, thanks.

Art Pepper, "Getting Together", with Miles' rhythm section, Wynton et al, Contemporary 1960, the track "Why are we afraid". Written by Andre Previn for the film theme of Kerouac's "Subterraneans", an appalling movie about "The Beats in San Francisco. Sample line, "I bought myself a skirt today, I haven't worn a SKIRT in years!" Leslie Carron, not Gerry Mulligan, who also features.

Going to JRR request this, a jazz movie theme strand anyone? I was going for Knife in the Water, but I donate that to Bruce.

Herbie Hancock's music for the Antonioni movie "Blow Up" (1966). Some of the tracks, especially the blues and the two ballads, are absolutely top-notch HH. It's unfortunate most of the tracks fade before they get anywhere - one would have liked to know what the musicians would have made of them, it being difficult to imagine they missed the opportunity to make the most of having people of the calibre of Joe Henderson, Freddie Hubbard and Phil Woods on hand in Warner's studios. Alan Skidmore solos on one track - the funky one - and Ian Carr did some unused takes.

There's so much more I could say about this recording, I'll shut up.

Were The Yardbirds with Jeff Beck are also on this album with Stroll On. I seem to remember in the film they wrecked their instruments ‘Who’ style.

[BLUESNIK'S REVOX]

Yep, they were, and agree with SA about Herbie's soundtrack, wonderful stuff.

More from Antonioni, from the classic "La Notta", early 60s with the wonderful Jeanne Moreau and Monica Vitti...the closing blues by the Georgi Gaslini Quartet who play on the lawn throughout end of the movie. Moody Alto? Coming RIGHT up!

Wow, thanks for that Bluesie. Almost the way early Mike Garrick would channel the Brubeck quartet into his own work.

[BLUESNIK'S REVOX]

There was some wonderful Italian film music from that period. And indeed, French, Polish, Scandinavian etc. I wasn't really aware of it at the time. BN.
