Jazz in Hollywood Pt.2

AOUT THE EVENT

In continuation to the session conducted in January on ’Jazz in Hollywood’ we discovered how rich the anthology of using jazz in movie soundtracks or as movie themes is and thus decided to have Part II of this session to cover some choice music from the movies from the 60s and beyond.

Duke Ellington and Gerry Mulligan were among other musicians called in to provide the music. Illustrious movie composers like Lalo Schifrin, Jerry Goldsmith and Michel Le Grande used jazz.

Clint Eastwood, a long time jazz aficionado put his heart and his wealth to produce movies on Charlie Parker and Thelonious Monk. Robert Altman produced ‘Kansas City’. ‘Paris Blues’ became an iconic film. ‘The Pink Panther’ tune by Henry Mancini was on everyone’s lips. And just a couple of years ago ‘Whiplash’ which used a jazz drummer as theme artiste earned an Oscar.

Rammesh Venugopal will come in from Bombay to handle this sequel as he did last time
