Stock and library >music have changed my life It's not that the music itself is disdainful, it's that some people - not me - are offended by the idea that just about any music, within reason, can work behind just about any film. I shouldn't speak for them whoever they are. At this very moment, I'm putting together "a temp music" track for my film. Music that you temporarily use under the film so that you can show it to people until you actually have your real soundtrack. It also can help you figure out what kind of music you want. Of course, almost every single film composer in the world, even if they've never done it before, hates it when you ask them to "imitate" something on your temp music track. Maybe this film isn't a good example because of its subject matter - which I will tell you all about as soon as I know it's actually going to be finished - but right now I have pieces ranging from Eddie Osborne's organ and bongo version of "El Cumbachero", Curtis Mayfield, John Martyn, Cugat, Tipsy and the Three Suns doing "Third Man theme"... and it kind of works. My previous film the temp track was almost all Astor Piazzola and it worked. What was my point again? Oh yeah, just about any music, even the stockest of stock music, will fulfill the role that music plays in a film. For most films. Of course, there are many exceptions and for the purpose of this list, I am excepting every film that someone on this list finds unimaginable without the soundtrack it ended up with.

It's orchestral and even features a song dedicated to Charlie Parker. Incidentally, he was recently interviewed on NPR, having just performed in the UK.

He was 88. Van gave comedian Redd Foxx his first job in Las Vegas and opened the city's first rock 'n' roll club. Van signed Foxx in 1964 as an opening act for Dinah Washington. He was established as a ``society bandleader,'' playing mostly ballroom dances, when he took a job at the old El Rancho Vegas in June 1942. He remained to become one of Las Vegas' best-known musical figures. As leader of the house band at The Last Frontier, he was the bandleader for Ronald Reagan when the future president headlined the hotel showroom in February 1954. April 30, 1999 Melba Liston, 73, Trombonist and Prominent Jazz Arranger By PETER WATROUS, NYTimes Melba Liston, a trombonist and arranger who worked with some of the best bands in jazz, died April 23 after a series of strokes, said a friend, pianist Randy Weston. She was 73 and lived in Los Angeles. Ms. Liston is best known for her collaborations with Weston, including the ambitious African-influenced works "High Life" and "Uhuru Afrika" from the early 1960s. On those albums she created dense harmonies to place over the percussion that Weston was using. She made his pieces, often harmonically simple, thick with dissonances and meaning. Ms. Liston stopped playing in 1985 after a stroke left her partially paralyzed, but she continued to arrange music with Weston. Their collaboration continued into the 1990s, and included work on Weston's "Spirits of Our Ancestors" (1992) and "Volcano Blues" (1993). Ms. Liston came to prominence in jazz in 1943, when she joined arranger-composer Gerald Wilson's band in Los Angeles. She recorded with the tenor saxophonist Dexter Gordon in 1947 (he dedicated the tune "Mischievous Lady" to her) and a year later she began working with Dizzy Gillespie and his orchestra. In 1957 she took what might be her most famous improvisation on record, on Gillespie's "Cool Breeze," from "Dizzy Gillespie at Newport." A few years earlier she had dropped out of music, working in clerical jobs and as a film extra. She had small parts in "The Prodigal"and "The 10 Commandments." When she returned to music she worked with Gillespie and with Quincy Jones, who was the music director of the television show "Free and Easy." In the 1960s she worked with Weston, and during the 1970s she taught in Jamaica at the University of the West Indies and the Jamaica Institute of Music. She returned to the United States in the early 1980s. Her later work for Weston is as dramatic as her early pieces, and on "Volcano Blues" she produces some shocking orchestral colors. At one of Weston's concerts at the Brooklyn Academy of Music last year, her presence brought the audience to its feet. She leaves no immediate survivors. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 Apr 1999 20:25:55 +0200 From: Marco \"Kallie\" Kalnenek Subject: Re: (exotica) Moondog Pearmania@aol.com wrote: > Yes, Moondog is great!

Moondog's music is melodic and never atonal, there is no improvisation and more overtly influenced by "classic" genres. Sun Ra's started melodic and got increasingly dissonant and was almost always Jazz or Blues based. I am a fan of both, so please do not take my remarks as denigrating either. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 Apr 1999 15:44:55 -0500 From: Lou Smith Subject: (exotica) Moondog At 08:25 PM 4/30/99 +0200, Marco wrote: >I've read about Moondog before, but I haven't heard his music yet.

The site features 21 animated films and 2 fragments from 1900 to 1921, created with several techniques, including clay, puppet, and pen drawings. As the site authors argue, in addition to demonstrating the connections between newspaper comic strips and early animated films, these selections also offer a glimpse into the social attitudes of the period. Available in RealPlayer, MPEG, and Quicktime formats, the films are searchable by keyword or browseable by title or subject. Brief story notes are provided with each film. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 01 May 1999 00:01:02 +0200 From: Ton Rueckert Subject: Re: (exotica) New Band of interest >Well, I haven't heard this yet...but I can vouch for the B man in saying >that Seks Bomba is America's best kept secret #1 group!

I can hardly wait for this one! I'm assuming this is the same group that does a groovy version of "The Liquidator" on the "Secret Agent Sounds" compilation?

Very moody, dark and intellegent. A massive classic! Diamonds - A one trick pony but a top quality and very rare LP now reis= sued and available. High speed bass-driven jazz with plenty of breaks and hi= gh drama. A massive classic too. Fear is the Key - Legendary jazz soundtrack by some legendary jazz performers including Tubby Hayes. Very cool but also very jazzy, featur= ing a 10 minute piece, Car Chase with sirens, engine sounds etc. Top! Roy Budd Plays Great Songs and Themes - This is a 1970s Roy Budd compliation which the Sound Spectrum took tracks from for its compilati= on (and until 1990s reissue fever, this was the only place, other than the= original 45, you could get the Get Carter theme). The LP features trac= ks from Get Carter, Wild Geese, Soldier Blue and others. Pretty cool but o= nly really because of the Get Carter tracks. Wild Geese - Average, mostly orchestral soundtrack Paper Tiger - As above, but more boring Soldier Blue - Never heard it but selected tracks are on the Plays Grea= t Songs and Themes LP - average orchestral. I think thats it. Please correct me if I'm wrong about any of this.
