    the 'random notes played in any order' type stuff is a bit much for me, do like a lot of the melodic 70s/80s fusion style jazz though

    one of my fav movie soundtracks...

    Mucho cheers for the Hawkins and Parker vid Mel and nice to see Buddy"baby taps"Rich on drums.
    As for Monk if you've heard one boozer pianist you've heard them all. :))

    My own two favourite Tenor and Bari sax players are Seldon Powell and Pepper adams.

    These three albums I'm lucky enough to own...





    And for guitar based jazz..

    Thanks for this ZX1 Wes Montgomery was one of the coolest jazzers around, and nice to hear one of Britains finest jazz pianists, Stan Tracey in the same clip, nice find. :)

    This wasn't the BBC though but ABC an independant commercial company. The BBC stuff was usually shown on a program called Jazz 625.

    NIIICCCEEEE!

    This is probably my favourite jazz vid. Arvell Shaw playing double bass solo on How High the Moon. Awesome :D

    I'm quite a fan of the Great Wes Montgomery and have several of his CD's. It's a real shame he died of a heart attack at the young age of 45 in 1968, i'm sure had he lived he would have went on to greater things.
    If you watch the clip closely, watch the drummer, he seems obsessed by the guy playing the stand up bass. Very odd.

    A great jazz guitarist indeed who adopted a quiet thumb style of playing as a youth so as not to pizz of the next door neighbour.

    Nothing too strange about the rhythm sections drummer gazing at the bassist. Rick Laird (bass) and Jackie Dougan (drums) were part of Ronnie Scotts varying line-ups so were familiar with each others playing and in a situation where the drummer cannot hear the acoustic bass over the other instruments or may not be familiar with the piece then he will tend to look at the bass players fingering (OOER MISSUS) and feel the rhythm rather than hear it and drum accordingly.

    Lalo Schifrin made the soundtrack for 'Bullit', starring Steve McQueen. The usual 60's & 70's police film. One of the songs I love:



    In 1997 Ford made an advert using this song, really good:

    They should all be shot...

    I'm assuming where they're from the honourable thing to do is "draw".....

    Although that second one is the Brokeback Mountain all these really "manly" hicks don't want you all to know about :))

    Belgian jazz musician Toots Thielemans has died at the age of 94, his manager has said.
    He was widely regarded as one of the world's top harmonica players and was well known for appearing on the Sesame Street and Midnight Cowboy themes
