Teasing the Korean

I listen to Pandora all day long at work. I created an electronica station. It's the best music for me to work to. I don't do premium; I can live with the occasional commercial. I guess they are making money from me through their advertising.

I just watched the documentary Korla: A Film by John Turner and Eric Christensen. Well worth finding for fans of THEE GREAT KORLA PANDIT!

Stylistically, sure. I was referring more to an overlap of the timelines between his jazz and film music career.

Dunno, but he did some Mooged out, spaced out funk on Rollerball!

Simplified and generalized timeline: Film music was first. There was some overlap between his jazz work and his film work. "Classical" - conducting and composing - came later. Previn still occasionally played jazz along the way during the classical phase.

What an interesting career. RIP.

But all that on-the-road partying takes its toll on conductors. They just can't wave their hands with the facility that they have in the studio.

I love everything about this.

I'll encourage them to have a pre-estate sale!

Yes, that thought had crossed my mind.

No outer sleeves. I've met older people over the years who had LP collections from a particular period in their life, and who more or less stopped buying music at a certain point. My father-in-law had a bunch of west coast jazz LPs that he bought as a young man, and beyond that, he had only a few classical CDs that he bought in more recent years.

I live in a mid-century modern neighborhood, and there are a lot of original homeowners in their 80s and even 90s still living here.

Music for Brass, Columbia CL-941. A little old lady saw me with the records, smiled, and said, "Do they have any Queen?" I'm not kidding. A company was handling the estate sale, so no one had any attachment to the items. No, I'm guessing a relative claimed it, or it had already sold. !!!!!

As I've written elsewhere, I'm pretty much finished with buying music, except for the odd release here and there. But yesterday, driving to work, I passed an estate sale, and couldn't resist the temptation to stop by. There were a few hundred LPs, nothing really rare, but here is what I loved about it: The LPs were almost all classical, with some jazz. They were all mono, and they were all in pristine condition. Almost all dated from the 1950s. Many were on Columbia, and the LPs were still tucked inside the inner plastic sleeves that Columbia used in the 1950s. They were a buck a throw. I bought a Stravinsky, some Satchmo, some Benny Goodman, and a Gunther Schuller. But if I had more money right now, and were just starting a collection, I probably would have made an offer on the whole lot. It was obviously a well-loved, well-cared for, deliberately curated collection. It would have been nice if it could all have been kept intact. At any rate, it was a nice window into the life of a neighbor whom I probably never met, and who had great taste in music.

Someone needs to invest in a new pair of glasses. You missed quite a few: Roger Roger WHIMSICAL DAYS THE ORIGINAL COMPOSITIONS OF ROGER ROGER Robert Farnon & His Orchestra THE HITS OF SINATRA & A PORTRAIT OF JOHNNY MATHIS Si Zentner & Martin Denny More & Exotica Suite Henry Mancini The Big Latin Band of Henry Mancini & The Latin Sound Henry Mancini Elmer Bernstein - The Silencers - Orginal Film Soundtrack Patrick Williams - How Sweet It Is! - Original Film Soundtrack Johnny Keating & His Orchestra ROBBERY - ORIGINAL FILM SOUND TRACK KPM & Conroy Music Library SOUNDS OF THE TIMES 1970-77 STEREO KPM LIBRARY TIME TO FLY KPM 1000 SERIES COMPILATION (1970-76) STEREO Chaquito - John Gregory SPIES AND DOLLS & TV THRILLERS KPM LIBRARY LIQUID SUNSHINE EASY LISTENING FROM THE KPM 1000 SERIES (1970-78) Alan Tew MUSIC FROM THE 1975 TV SERIES THE HANGED Man James Last & His Orchestra Voodoo-Party & Well Kept Secret Sid Ramin & His Orchestra Stiletto Henry Mancini The Cop Show Themes & Symphonic Soul Gabor Szabo Face & Bonus tracks The Hustlers Chappell Library compilation Dramatic music from the Chappell Library (1970-1977)

This is basically my chronology also.

I assumed so. Thanks for the warning.

I am familiar with Gil's film and TV work, but not any "jazz." Unless Tome VI counts, but that strikes me more as a soundtrack for a film that doesn't exist.

I may not get around to it until the weekend, so feel free to discuss the albums if you like!

I wouldn't know about that. I prefer listening to music by stylishly dressed musicians, as opposed to that by hygienically challenged hippies.

The father of a good friend of mine was a professional jazz and studio musician who was part of the Chicago scene that included Dick Marx and Johnny Frigo. My friend's Dad knew Ken Nordine and played on some of those early Word Jazz backings.

I had no idea that Jerry Lewis loved Ken Nordine so much! Thanks for the info!

BEAUTIFUL!

Well, that makes sense. Considering that the film of Porgy and Bess is largely forgotten, it is kind of amazing in retrospect how everyone and his brother was trying to rush out a P&G album at the time.

For the throngs of rabid Sauter-Finegan fans who have expressed concern about the status of our Bachelor's Guide, rest assured: Your beloved TTK will soon come roaring back with his incisive, provocative reviews of the final two Sauter-Finegan albums, both recorded for United Artists, and then cap off the thread with an overall evaluation of S-F's body of work as it stands in relation to other postwar musics. In the meantime, if anyone here can find videos for what what carries the potential be my favorite Sauter-Finegan album, Adventure in Time, please share!
