o10, that soundtrack is a bit confusing. The link you provided doesn't include Monk or any of his songs. In the bio, "Thelonious Monk, The Life and Times of an American Original" there is discussion about Monk avoiding signing the contract for the score until the very last minute. When he finally signed and went to the studio to record the music he only did a few of his existing compositions rather than write anything new. The exception was his solo performance of the old hymn, "We'll Understand it Better, By and By". Most of the music furnished to Vadim for the film was done in those same sessions by Blakey and the Jazz Messengers. I've never seen the film but the title and credits in your link leave me wondering. |
Pryso, there's a lot that's confusing on 'you tube'; for example, "Stereophile" shows "Coleman Hawkins" and Friends' as one of his best albums, but 'you tube' shows several albums that could fit that description; maybe it's all of them? For sure this is some good music that I don't have enough of in my collection; Buddy Rich is a real showman, that's with Bird and Coleman Hawkins. |
Charley Parker was one cool dude; Miles said that even when he was shabby and broke, he had that look that said he had it, and he knew he had it; the music and the sound. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqorVLscxRI |
"Old School" is sure sounding good this evening; it makes me feel better just listening to it; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzkfSx4Wgk0 |
