  1. Jim - the cartoon idea is intriguing, will have to check around, as I know some things have come out on CD - Korean, thanks, I'd forgotten about Hopkins; I may be able to use something. Though I have not figured out exactly how far we're going, the final CD may be something like "things to come" with a sampling of 1950s work; will check out the North as well as the Rhino - as for blues vs jazz, will probably looked for "bluesy" jazz as, in the public perception, the two were inevitably tied together; frequently one was meant as a reference to the other -
  2. good publication, some very good interviews over the years -
  3. also, don't worry about inconsistency or non-sequitors - they happen all the time in old blues; a lot of times they were making it up on the fly -
  4. sounds good, but not as good as the Wingy Manone cufflink -

    Bolton went to prison for drugs, and he was a junkie to the end - I, like a few others, heard him playing on the street in San Francisco, circa 1985. I talked to him a bit (I almost fell over when he said his name) - he didn't have much left in the way of chops, but one could hear that he had a sound - he told me Herb Wong was trying to help him out, but he never really got straightened out -
  7. definitely - my only thought on this is to look more mainstream, because I am trying to show how the music filtered into non-expected places, or how it was used by "outsiders" to show a certain kind of exoticism -
  8. I'm interested if I can find soundtracks - less than in mainstream films, however, because I am looking for more of an external influence - but I listen to everything - also, the soundtrack has to exist as a separate soundtrack in order for me to use it -
  9. Mark, that's exactly right - A Song is Born, while not a musical, has music as music in it, if you know what I mean - they perform self-consciously as musicians - Anatomy of a Murder, which is probably too late for my use, is exactly what I am looking for - and, as I mentioned, Alex North's score for Streetcar, also might work -
  10. time for a quick trip to Andorra, Chuck -
  11. funny this should come up today as I was just perusing the web site Jaki's daughter put up about him and thinking how damn much I miss him -
  12. you don't by any chance have a DAT or a CDR lying around...
  13. Hong Kong Blues is in To Have and Have Not - great film, Bogie, Bacall, and Walter Brennan -
  14. from what I remember Sonnenblick telling me maybe 10 years ago, at least some of the Byard is solo - but I may be wrong -
  15. c'mon Chuck, make up some dates - seriously, though, I would kill 7 Republicans and work as a Walmart greeter to hear the Byard - tell Sonnenblick to get it out! (please)
  16. I would tend to want to look at non-musical films in which the effect is more subliminal; I'm not saying I won't consider films with songs in them, it's just that I am looking for a more subtle influence -
  17. just as a plug, I heard Paul's latest CD - great band, nice arrangements -
  18. Keroac? isn''t that the title of an old song?
  19. I love this thread, but everytime I see the title I think of that old Martin Mull routine: "You came across on the Mayflower, so what's wrong with the Holiday Inn?"
  20. just short passages, individual cuts - 3-5 minutes maybe -
  21. I think that's Jim's kid having a little colic -
  22. I'll take 'em all - how much is shipping to 99999?
  23. for this blues project I am looking for older film soundtrack music (pre-1952) which shows a blues influence, cheesy or not - so far I've come up with A Streetcar Named Desire (Alex North) - any other ideas? Theres the Man with the Golden Arm, but that's 1955, so I may or may not be able to use it as I haven't figured out yet if I am going past 1952 -
  24. Getta Life Getta Job Getta Lost Getta Way (bonus name, not on the LP)
