gvopedz Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 In last night’s “Great Performances” program on PBS, Paul McCartney mentioned that in the mid1960s he made a home movie that had an Albert Ayler performance in the soundtrack. The movie was of a gendarme in France directing traffic and the tune was Ayler’s version of “La Marseillaise.” McCartney’s comment was in the Magical Mystery Tour Revisited documentary: http://www.pbs.org/w...-the-film/1464/ Not the first time I see McCartney and jazz together: http://www.allaboutj...p?id=34090&pg=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danasgoodstuff Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Hence the begining of "All You Need is Love"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILLYQ Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 The cognitive dissonance of McCartney & Ayler is too much for me to handle. It's like Liberace and Cecil Taylor working together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JETman Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 The cognitive dissonance of McCartney & Ayler is too much for me to handle. It's like Liberace and Cecil Taylor working together. So, McCartney's Liberace to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertoart Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 The cognitive dissonance of McCartney & Ayler is too much for me to handle. It's like Liberace and Cecil Taylor working together. So, McCartney's Liberace to you? , He's Macca to his friends. I wonder if Ayler was still alive, would McCartney have asked him to play on his Jazz album. and would Ayler have acquiesced. Ayler and Dianna Kral, thats a bit more cognitive dissonance for you. Good old McCartney...always trying to push his avant-garde credentials/pretensions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 It's easy to forget today that Paul was the original London/Hipster/Swinger/Scenester of the group, before John met Yoko and he Linda. A casual awareness of Ayler in 1968 doesn't seem odd at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
