This was a historic meeting put together for the Kansas City movie. They really need to release this as a blu ray along with the movie.

I bought a DVD of this online, but I strongly suspect the DVD was homemade by the seller.

Would have been amazing to be there even in the audience. I played clarinet and sax in school. I could only play with this group in my dreams.

The bassist is Christian McBride, not Ron Carter, at the start of the film. Ron Carter is playing at around the 30-minute mark (wearing glasses, tall and thin). Geri Allen is on piano. Nick Payton is the heavier set trumpet player, Olu Dara plays cornet. Don Byron is on clarinet. Kevin Mahogany sings Harvard Blues (presumably playing Jimmy Rushing), which is not credited on the soundtrack despite being one of the notable Rushing vocals with the Count Basie band. The song was recorded by them in 1941, but it was written in 1932. Rushing joined Basie in 1935. Jesse Davis plays alto (a Buster Smith character?). But it's a jam, a lot of musicians join in over the hour. The music was the best part of this okay but not great Altman movie, definitely worth seeing for the obvious love for Kansas City jazz. Many thanks for sharing this.

In 1935, Bird had not yet introduced the Bebop language to jazz, so here, some of these solos never could have been heard because they are too modern, chromatic, with the free harmonic use of bebop riffs. Remember swing soloing was more like arpeggiated chord tones not actual Charlie Parker lines

Wow. The soundtrack's Solitude has always been my version. Now to watch it happen... I'd heard about some sort of movie like this, since the 90s, and just finally found it accidentally. And I'd have to check my CD case again, but I think there was a comment in there about "Betch you can't find the microphones." They're apparently everywhere, taped to the bottoms of chairs and stuff.

The one point that needs to be mentioned, the draw was the meat packing industry. Because of the depression Kansas City being the main shipping destination of the western cattle ranches offered a lot of work in that industry. Which offered the economic sustainability where a cat could work the meat packing plants by day then go play at night because that industry supported the ability to use a disposable income which kept the clubs full of patrons. Every major big band of the day - Ellington, Count Base, Cab Calloway and others all were based in that city as a way to survive the depression !!!

Trouble is the improv is too modern for the era
@williemakeit23467 ай бұрын
Exactly. They made the same anachronistic mistake with the Round Midnight movie. The solos AND the arrangements were too modern for that movie’s setting.
