Max Roach Quintet in "Delinquent, Hipster, and Square"

[Adam]

Hi all,

Went to a show of "Found Footage" films at the UCLA Hammer Museum the other night. One film is worth seeking out, and probably isn't impossible to find. The link is no longer on the Hammer Museum webiste, but I'll cut & paste the description below.

It was a Christian show broadcast on CBS, the pilot for a series that would investigate the three archtypical personalities of the Delinquent, the Hipster, and Square. It's not on iMdb.

"Jazz is the music of your generation" says the host to the youth who are presumably watching. And the band, playing background throughout, and a featured full song at one point, is the Max Roach Quintet with Booker Little on trumpet, George Coleman on tenor, Ray Draper on tuba, and Art Davis on bass, well shot, in good sound.

It's in the collection of Craig Baldwin in the Bay Area.

Here's a link to the Other Cinema screening of it in 2001 - look at the 2/17 show.
