Has anyone seen the film this was the soundtrack to?

The film soundtrack is performed by Nora Jones' dad. Ornette's score was rejected.

AS remember it The Fugs were also on the final soundtrack. They're not listed on IMDB but Ed Saunders is in the cast (as is Ornette). And "Phil Glass" was music supervisor. Perhaps he's responsible for rejecting Ornette's music.

I saw it when I was in college in the 60's. I remember almost nothing about it, which may say something about my memory, but probably says more about the film.

I do have a double LP of Ornette's soundtrack, and that IS memorable.

Sony France put out the two disc set a number of years ago.

As well as a Japanese Sony Master Sound cardboard edition in 1999 (SRCS 9192-3) that Italian Sony imported and distributed for a short while. I bought mine then.

Not played this for a while but isn't Pharoah's contribution limited to a piccolo solo?

No, Pharoah plays burning tenor. I believe he plays on Part 3 (of 4) only, but he makes his presence very much known.

My mistake Pete, what could I have been thinking of? He has a very short solo interlude towards the end of part 4. Anyway it's been good to spin this great music again.

picked this up last week at the local brick & morter (used for $7.99!)

and the music is goooooooooood! :)

I love that album. Before I got the CD, I used to record a fresh cassette off of the WKCR Ornette birthday broadcast every couple of years.

Just listening to this one this morning. Looks like someone has it for sale on Amazon for $499.99.

:blink:

Surprised that this gets so high. I see this item off and on in some of the secondhand stores here.

Next time I catch sight of one more copy, I'll grab it and have it on the auction block.

I still keep the original French CBS vinyl twofer!
