Several times, instrumental snippets, but the song existed before the film.

Just finished;

having seen photos/footage of the scene, there's a copy of Dolphy's "Out To Lunch" among the scattered household items (after the fact). It is a chilling setting.

In the 2nd version (the official one), it mostly Shafi Hadi soloing although there is still Mingus soloing quite a bit 

The ordinal version with all the Mingus tunes barely exists and is not allowed by the Cassevetes estate.

That's what I read anyway.

TCM streaming (via the HBO Max app) has the entire film. It's still a jolting watch, and the murder/aftermath is just, like, the last quarter or so.

Howard Alk, who directed it, was a really interesting guy.  Did a lot of work with/for Dylan and ended up committing suicide.  I interviewed him re: his documentary about Janis Joplin. He was also one of the founders of The Second City.

Saw that too. Puts "Out to Lunch" into a historical perspective.

Ir'a really Charlotte Zwerin's documentary, but Eastwood's company was involved.

Got it, it's the same documentary, just got confused that Clint did not "direct" the "movie" unlike "Bird"

[jazzbo]

It's a very different movie than "Bird," and I don't really see Eastwood's "hand" here.

I know what you mean, Straight No Chaser is a documentary, whereas "Bird" is a movie. Clint was involved in both productions in one way or another. 

[jazzbo]

He was far more involved in "Bird."

Right now

Clint has said what a huge jazz fan he is.
