Wondered if anyone had picked up on this animation film featue on All Anout Jazz?

I had never heard f this oianist before and it seems a good story even if it is tragic. The director's previous animation about Cuban jazz was terrific. This looks even better:-

Composed by our Tony Coe, of course.

[BLUESNIK'S REVOX]

Composed by our Tony Coe, of course.

Was that ever a claim?? Mancini wrote it specifically for the film with Plas Johnson in mind, and for the first recording, because of his individual tenor sound (1964?). I know Coe is associated somehow but was that with the "Return of the Pink Panther", not the original?

Johnson said they only did two studio takes and had it down. Even the string section applauded "and they never ever did that!"

Spike Milligan presents Stan Tracey

Based on Stan's hair length I'd judge that to be mid-70s; Charlie Watts' childhood buddy Dave Green à la contrebasse, Bryan Spring à la batterie (littéralement)..

Harold Land and Blue Mitchell quintet - Mapenzi (Concord Jazz, 1990) featuring the late Al "Tootie" Heath.

That track was brilliant. I had no idea that Harold Land had recorded for Concord.

I always found that Concord edged on the side of being conservative yet tended to produce some wnderful records. It was always good when they pushed towards the more modern approach to jazz and beyond their more mainstream credentials. Like a lot of their outpt, the Land track sounds brilliant. There is not much jazz being played today which matches the shear grit of records such as that one,

Tremendous stuff. And what a line-up. Though, to be brutally honest, rather light in the drum dept. I can understand dad wanting his son to be part of it, but imagine Bryan Spring or John Marshall driving this band...
