The trailer is out.  

I may see this and just try to ignore Wynton.

 

Well said.

Instincts say "Run away" (a la Monty Python), but this is highly likely to have a showing at my local art house theater, so I may consider if trailer and cinematic reviews are good.

It will be interesting to see if Wynton simply recorded 7 tunes with his band and had them dropped into the film by the director, or if he scored the film in a more traditional sense, i.e., writing and recording passages to go with specific scenes.

How would you be able to yell? It would likely sound the same either way. It's not like he's  Terranova Blachard...

Well, for starters, whether it sounds like a quintet blowing through a tune, or if there is lots of space, minimal stuff, repetition.  I've listened to enough film scores to get a sense of approach.  The Italians almost always recorded tunes and had them placed by the director after the fact.

Right, you know/can tell the difference. But would Wynton? He's been so cock-damn-sure over the years that everything he does is right that I've heard no real growth or appreciation of nuance.

And I do not know why my phone made "Terrence" into "Teranova". That's just bizarre.

Good question.  As for "Teranova," I thought it was a deliberate arcane reference!

In case anyone is interested, the score for this film is not by Wynton, but by Daniel Pemberton:

Wynton and his cronies play some tunes that are presumably used as source music, but as I have not yet seen the film, I can't confirm.
